Ecohealth issues and current contexts

COPEH-CANADA TEACHING RESOURCES

Climate NEW! This slide deck provides information on the climate crisis from a health perspective; it demonstrates how ecosystem approaches to health can be applied to the climate crisis; and it illustrates the climate crisis through narratives. Our Narratives module explains how stories can be used in an ecosystems approaches to health training context, including how to use the slide presentation. ----- NEW! Our Decolonisation, Equity + Climate Transformation module provides lesson plans that offer an opportunity for learners to critically reflect on the root causes of interconnected social and ecological injustices and their impact on the health and well-being of both people and the planet.
