Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education

Strategic and Technical Support

Strengthening low carbon climate-prepared healthcare across diverse organizations

The Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education partners with organizations to design and deliver transformative educational programs and provide strategic planning services that reach wide audiences across the health sector. Our interdisciplinary team  translates the latest climate and health research into practical, actionable education and strategic guidance that strengthens your organization's capacity to assess, manage, and drive policy and program changes for climate-related health risks and health system decarbonization.

Services Offered

We provide strategic and technical support through two key service areas that create lasting impact, tailored to your organization and its specific needs:

  • Strategic Planning Services: We work directly with your organization’s leadership team to develop comprehensive climate and health strategies, conduct system-wide assessments, and create actionable roadmaps that align climate adaptation and sustainability with organizational mission.  
  • Custom Educational Programs: We develop evidence-based educational content tailored to your organization and audiences, from frontline health workers to senior executives, ensuring relevant, actionable learning outcomes that drive measurable change.

In our work with partners we emphasize:

  • Flexible Program Delivery: Our education programs utilize delivery methods that work for your organization—workshops, online learning platforms, peer-to-peer networks, and immersive experiences—to effectively engage target audiences.
  • Leadership Development: Our executive education and strategic planning services prepare your health leaders to champion climate-resilient practices and drive organizational transformation from within.
  • Institutional Capacity Building: We design both strategic plans and educational programs that build your organization's long-term capacity, enabling your teams to conduct vulnerability assessments and develop adaptation strategies independently.
  • Leadership Development: Our executive education and strategic planning services prepare your health leaders to champion climate-resilient practices and drive organizational transformation from within.
  • Measurable Results: Every strategic plan and education program includes comprehensive evaluation frameworks to demonstrate progress, knowledge transfer, behavior change, and institutional capacity improvements to your stakeholders.
