Cycle 4: Climate Impacts on Health & Health Equity

This cycle will explore how climate change-driven environmental shifts (such as rising temperatures, declining air quality, changing patterns of vector-borne diseases, and increasingly frequent extreme weather events) create and intensify threats to health and health and social services.  

Particular attention will be paid to how these threats are unevenly distributed, disproportionately affecting individuals, communities, and patients already burdened by social, economic, and environmental inequities.  

Impacted groups can include people living with mental health conditions, those experiencing homelessness, older adults, women and gender-diverse people, Indigenous and racialized communities, people with disabilities, and others facing intersecting vulnerabilities.  

Online ECHO Library

Slide decks, case summaries and recommendations, and resources shared during the cycle are made available to participants after every session.

We strongly encourage registrants to complete the Introduction to Sustainable Health Systems online course available on the Royal College for Physicians and Surgeons’ website (registration is open to all) in advance of the sessions.
