Education is key in the effort to increase knowledge and skills among nursing professionals, clinicians, public health practitioners, emergency responders, educators, healthcare leaders, and policy makers in order to build capacity and so they may continue to serve as trusted voices within their professions and institutions.

Nursing on the Frontlines of the Climate Crisis Course: Education for Action was developed through a partnership between the Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education (GCCHE); the Global Nurses Working Group (GNWG)/Nursing Climate Resources for Health Education (N-CRHE); the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments (AHNE), the Canadian Association of Nurses for the Environment (CANE), and Climate Action Nurses (CAN) will address this critical need.

The Course’s key goals are to:

1. Increase nursing professionals’ knowledge, self-efficacy, and communication skills related to the climate crisis to: 1) improve patient care and public health practice and 2) serve as trusted messengers within their institutions, communities, and fields of practice.
2. Equip interested nursing professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to disseminate education so that health effects of climate change and emergency preparedness can be incorporated more easily into pre- and post-licensure nursing education across the globe.
3. Build and strengthen an agile and informed nursing community around climate and health education, advocacy, and policy for health professionals with strong mentorship and expert support.

All nursing professionals interested in climate change and health are welcome! 
Nurses, nurse practitioners, nursing students, nursing educators, hospital administrators, health system leaders, health educators, policymakers, environmental nursing professionals, government officials, journalists, advocates, or those otherwise working in an area impacted by climate change.
