Tackling the public health effects of climate change – find out how you and your team can take action

Thursday 5th October 2023
With Public Health Network Cymru

Public Health Wales has a new strategic priority: tackling the public health effects of climate change, in recognition of the climate emergency being the greatest health threat facing humanity. This webinar introduced a free online resource that helps individuals and teams to take action to reduce their environmental impact.

Claire Sain-Ley Berry from Cynnal Cymru explained how to use the free Healthy Environment online workshop which is based on four themes – decarbonisation, biodiversity, zero waste and climate change. The workshop encourages individuals and teams to develop an action plan to reduce their negative impacts and increase their positive impacts on the environment, and contribute to any existing environmental management systems within their organisation.

The webinar also highlighted free training opportunities available on climate change to help you understand what climate change means to your role, and how to take action.
