The California Department of Public Health’s Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion and Safe and Active Communities Branch invite you to a Webinar Series on: Climate Change and Public Health:  Building Healthy Communities and a Healthy Planet

We invite public health professionals and key community health advocates to participate in a new, four-part webinar series that covers how climate change will impact health across California, especially within vulnerable communities, provides tools to effectively communicate the need for action at the local level, and identifies upcoming opportunities to reshape our communities that create “win-wins” for improving health and addressing climate change.

Join us for this series that explores the connections between the built environment, chronic disease, environmental justice and climate change, identifies ways to leverage on-going public health work at the local level, and highlights opportunities to collaborate with key partners to create healthier and more sustainable communities. Our keynote speakers will identify practical tools and guides that you can use to enhance your current work and address climate change at the local level.
