BRACE: A Public Health Model for Climate Action

Are you a public health or health professional seeking to drive equitable, transformative change in response to the climate crisis? As federal momentum around climate mitigation disappears, local public health action is more critical than ever.

APHA’s Center for Climate, Health and Equity, in partnership with ecoAmerica, is proud to host a live training featuring the newly updated Building Resilience Against Climate Effects (BRACE) framework and implementation guide that aims to empower health professionals in advancing health equity and climate resilience.

In this two-hour training, you will be equipped with the tools to collaborate with partners and communities to identify climate and health threats, co-develop effective strategies and take meaningful climate action.

By the end of this training, you will be able to:

• Understand what BRACE is and how you can implement it in your work.
• Assess your organizational readiness in the context of climate change and health.
• Build community partnerships to identify climate and health risks and co-develop solutions.
• Implement mitigation and adaptation strategies that address the inequities of climate change impacts.

Earn two free continuing education credits when you complete the course.
