Health systems and patient needs will be very different from the past. Health professionals must be prepared to recognize and address the health risks and impacts of climate change and to ensure functioning healthcare systems in a climate-changed future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We, the WHO-Civil Society Working Group to Advance Action on Climate Change and Health, urge the deans, academics, managers and other teaching staff of health professional educational institutes, as well as the associated accrediting, examination, and licensing bodies to ensure graduating health professionals are prepared to identify, prevent, and respond to the health impacts of climate change and environmental degradation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Human health like <a href=\"https:\/\/world-heart-federation.org\/what-is-cvd\/\">cardiovascular disease<\/a> is inextricably linked to planetary health. From floods to wildfires to heat emergencies, climate change is already impacting health and health systems with disadvantaged and Indigenous communities being affected the most. Health professionals have an ethical and professional responsibility to be familiar with both current and future climate change and environmental health threats in order to fulfill duties to their patients and to society.<\/p>\n<p>Responses to a global health emergency, whether a pandemic or a climate disaster, <a href=\"https:\/\/world-heart-federation.org\/what-we-do\/air-pollution\/\">air pollution<\/a> or biodiversity loss, need resilient health systems and a highly proactive, skilled and committed health workforce.\u00a0 One of the key strategies to achieve resilient, low-carbon health systems is to strengthen educational and training programs for all health professionals. Health systems must also do their part to reduce the global greenhouse gas emissions produced in the delivery of healthcare services.<\/p>\n<p>Universities and education stakeholders must update and evolve programs such that they address risks from climate change as well as opportunities to improve the global public health response to climate change.

The Brazilian Portuguese version was relaunched and was translated into English. The course design was inspired by the image of organic life, taking shape naturally from roots and rhizomes. The course has an important dimension on scientific knowledge but also has emotional, creative and affective dimensions. In 2021, in collaboration with the World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA) a new version of the course was launched: Planetary Health for Primary Care.
