Free course! with Geneva Foundation & Save the Children

Subject: Free Course Launch - Protecting Children from Climate Health Threats
Dear Partners and Colleagues,
Children born today will face 6 times more heatwaves than children born 60 years ago. Climate change is making children sicker, and health workers around the world see this every day.
Save the Children International and The Geneva Learning Foundation have created a free course to help policy-makers, health workers and the interested public protect children from health-related risks of the climate crisis. The course uses Save the Children's policy brief "Prioritising Children's Health Amidst the Climate Crisis," but participants won't just read it. They'll connect it to their own work and share with health professionals and workers from over 80 countries.
The course works in three steps. First, participants receive the policy brief. Second, it helps them make sense of how climate change may be hurting children in their community. Third, they figure out what actions they can take now. Then participants share their ideas with colleagues worldwide who give feedback, and they provide feedback on others' ideas as well.
A health worker in Kenya dealing with more malaria cases during floods might connect with a colleague halfway across the world facing the same problem. Someone treating more diarrhea in children during droughts in Bangladesh can learn from a colleague who could be anywhere.
This matters because 2.4 billion children worldwide face health risks from climate change. We need $11 billion yearly for climate health programs but only receive $150 million. Children get sicker from heat, floods, droughts, and storms, and health workers need practical solutions now.
Your experience helps other health professionals and workers. Their experience helps you. Together, we can better protect children. The course is free and open to all health workers worldwide.
