Trainings and Resources

Climate change and health training module series

The following Health & Climate Change & Health Training Modules were developed to help educate public health professionals, planners, emergency managers, and others about the climate changes we're experiencing in Minnesota, the impact those changes have on health, and what actions we can take to help reduce and prevent negative health outcomes associated with climate change.

These training modules may be used as educational pieces and are fully scripted for the purpose of using them as a "train the trainer" resource.
