Appel au renforcement de la formation de tous les professionnels de santé dans le domaine des changements climatiques

The WHO-Civil Society Working Group on Climate and Health Action calls for the systemic integration of climate and health competencies into medical and health professional curricula. The document argues that health professionals have an ethical duty to address climate-related health risks, noting that current training is often lacking or student-led. It proposes four key actions: integrating competencies into curricula and professional development, fostering multisectoral training, increasing funding for research and education, and sharing pedagogical resources. The letter includes an appendix of existing courses in the Caribbean, Latin America, Brazil, and Switzerland, as well as a core competencies framework developed by the Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education.

• There is a global deficiency in climate change training for future physicians, and where such activities exist, they are frequently initiated by students rather than institutions.
• The document outlines four specific calls to action: integrating climate and health skills into curricula and professional development, promoting multisectoral training, securing more funding for research and training, and sharing educational resources.
• The Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education (GCCHE), which includes over 250 institutions from more than 40 countries, has established a validated 'core competencies' framework for health professionals.
• Existing educational initiatives include a 10-week course for Caribbean health professionals, a 15-hour course for Latin American public health researchers, a planetary health MOOC in Brazil, and a 'One Health' MOOC produced by the University of Geneva.
