Posted on Jan 30, 2012
Webinar On Feb 14th from 12pm to 1:30pm
At the dawn of the 21st century, climate change is considered one of the most serious threats facing humanity today. Although plagued by unknowns and uncertainties, Canadians can expect a more variable climate and as a direct result, most experts now agree that climate change will have far reaching effects on public health. Public health practitioners and emergency management officials have begun to develop plans and practices that are reflective of the possible climate health impacts. This webinar will review current regional perspectives including flooding and forest fires to provide public health and health care providers and researchers with information and tools to optimise program planning.

Webinar le 14 fevrier 2012 12hr00 - 13hr30 - heure de l'est
À l’aube du 21e siècle, les changements climatiques sont considérés comme l’une des plus grandes menaces auxquelles nous faisons face aujourd’hui. Malgré toutes les incertitudes, les Canadiens peuvent s’attendre à un climat plus variable. Comme conséquence directe, la plupart des experts s’entendent pour dire que les changements climatiques auront une incidence importante sur la santé publique. Les professionnels de la santé publique et les fonctionnaires de la gestion des urgences ont commencé à élaborer des plans et des mesures qui reflètent les effets possibles du climat sur la santé. Ce webinaire examinera les perspectives régionales actuelles, y compris les inondations et les incendies de forêt, en vue d’offrir aux professionnels de la santé publique, aux fournisseurs de soins de santé et aux chercheurs des renseignements et des outils qui leur permettront d’optimiser leur planification de programmes.
