About this lesson
A closer look
Doctors and nurses are often the first to see how climate change harms people, yet few have been trained to recognize it. Harvard Chan C-CHANGE develops and evaluates curricula that prepare health professionals to identify and address climate-related health impacts. This lesson explores the first residency curriculum on climate and health, community organizing training for clinicians, and why climate knowledge is now part of being a good doctor.
