Climate Change: Mastering the Public Health Role Webinar Series

With support from the Centers for Disease Control, the Association of Public Health Agencies hosted a year-long, six-part webinar series titled “Climate Change: Mastering the Public Health Role” in 2009-2010.

This educational series presents:

• basic climate science and the health impacts of climate change
• the public health role in state and local adaptation planning
• strategies to adapt to health impacts of climate change, and
• effectively communicating the health related aspects of climate change. 

A separate guidebook under the same name was published in 2011 that represents a translation of these webinars, intended as a tool for the public health community to prepare for the challenges of climate change.
