  • The Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education (GCCHE), which includes more than 250 health professional schools across over 40 countries, has established a framework of "core competencies" for health professionals. This framework has received endorsement from the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health in both North America and the European Region, as well as the American Association of Medical Colleges.
  • Several regional certificate courses have been developed to address climate and health: a 10-week course for the Caribbean region created by EarthMedic, the GCCHE, and the Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology; an 8-week program for health professionals created by the GCCHE, NOAA, Health Canada, and Project Echo; and a 5-week course for Latin America created by the Pan American Health Organization, the GCCHE, and the InterAmerican Institute for Global Change Research.
  • Brazil launched a free Massive open online course (MOOC) on Planetary Health in 2020 via the TelessaúdeRS-UFRGS platform, which was later translated into English and expanded in 2021 to include a version for Primary Care in collaboration with the World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA).
  • The University of Geneva, in collaboration with the WHO, produced a MOOC titled "Global Health at the Human-Animal-Ecosystem Interface" based on the One Health approach. The course includes a module on "Management of Ecosystems under Global Changes: Implication for Human Health" and has reached over 10,000 learners globally.
  • In Kiribati, the Humanitarian Youth Club initiative trains youth volunteers in sexual and reproductive healthcare priorities during emergencies to help communities prepare for crises such as king tides.
