Taking Action on Planetary Health (Certificate)
University of Toronto
Description
With the complex connection between environmental health and human health becoming increasingly apparent, the necessity for healthcare professionals to incorporate planetary health approaches in their practice is more important than ever. Taking Action on Planetary Health introduces learners to the emerging and transdisciplinary social movement of Planetary health and offers the opportunity for learners to develop and implement solutions that will allow humanity and the natural systems we depend on to thrive now and in the future. Over the course of 4 synchronous interactive online modules and 3 asynchronous modules with guided independent group work, participants will explore key planetary health concepts and frameworks, collaborate with a diverse group of learners, and apply planetary health principles to a novel and practical planetary health intervention. Our goal is to build community and capacity among healthcare professionals committed to planetary health promotion and action.
