Government Interventions Rather Than Climate Conditions Primarily Curb COVID-19’s Spread, NOAA and International Team Say 18 March 2021

Government Interventions Rather Than Climate Conditions Primarily Curb COVID-19’s Spread, NOAA and International Team Say

A new report cautions that weather and climate conditions, including the onset of higher temperatures during spring, should not be used as a trigger to relax COVID-19 transmission reduction measures.

New course for clinicians on climate change and human health 28 January 2021

New course for clinicians on climate change and human health

Course focuses on heat and health in urban areas in session 3

A new clinician-focused webinar series, titled "Climate Change and Human Health" organized by Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) with contributions from several NIHHIS partners, is now open for registration.  The purpose of this 7-week course, which runs from Feb. 17 - April 7, 2021, is to help clinicians and other medical professionals better understand the ways in which climate variability and change impact human health and health care facilities. Another goal is to help clinicians become more conversant in climate science and climate-related impacts so that they may integrate climate science information into their communications with patients as well as their long-term resilience planning for their facilities.

Urban Heat Island Community of Practice Webinar Series continues with "Green Cooling Infrastructure"

Urban Heat Island Community of Practice Webinar Series continues with "Green Cooling Infrastructure"

The National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) and its partners are hosting a webinar series to feature case studies on what happens after communities conduct their urban heat island mapping campaigns. On September 30th at 3PM EDT, the fifth of the series, "Green Cooling Infrastructure" will take place and will feature communities that have implemented solutions to obtain heat resilience through green infrastructure. The session will highlight case studies from Philadelphia and Pawtucket and explore how they were able to implement green infrastructure, and by doing so, strengthen community cohesion and resilience. The intersection with environmental justice, public health, crime reduction, and equitable approaches to improvements that benefit residents will be threaded throughout the webinar.

Urban Heat Island Community of Practice Webinar Series Continues with "Community Engagement, Outreach, and Education"

The National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) and its partners are hosting a webinar series to feature community case studies on what happens after Urban Heat Island mapping campaigns are conducted. The sixth of the series, "Investigate Options 4- Community Engagement, Outreach, Education", will take place on October 12th at 4:00 PM EDT and will feature municipalities that have effectively engaged communities, institutions, politicians, and the press to advance heat mitigation efforts. The session will feature three municipality managers from Austin, Cincinnati, and King County, WA, who will explore how they engage in collaborative approaches to urban heat planning, and identify ways that may be helpful for your climate outreach efforts.
