Building capacity for climate and health action
Capacity building for climate resilient and low-carbon sustainable health is essential to strengthening countries’ abilities to protect and improve population health in the face of climate change. It has also been identified as a key priority area for the ATACH.
ATACH member countries consistently highlight climate change and health capacity building as a priority need and an area where they seek targeted support. This page lists and categorises the existing climate change and health capacity building opportunities and resources offered by ATACH members.
Contribute capacity building resources
The ATACH Secretariat warmly invites all ATACH members to contribute capacity building opportunities via the ATACH Members Area. On-demand learning resources, such as self‑paced online courses, webinar recordings, or training materials can be submitted to the Resource Repository, and time‑specific opportunities, such as live webinars, workshops, and face‑to‑face trainings should be submitted to the Events page. (Note: you will need to sign in to the Members Area to submit a resource or event). Materials and opportunities relevant to capacity building will be collated on this page and also listed on the resource repository and events pages.
We also welcome your suggestions on capacity‑building needs. Please email any ideas or specific areas of interest to ATACH@who.int.
