GCCHE Launches 2026–2027 Global Survey on Climate Education in Public Health Schools

The Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education (GCCHE) has launched its 2026–2027 Global Survey on Climate Education in Public Health Schools and invites participation from academic institutions and public health educators worldwide.

The survey aims to assess the current landscape of climate and health education across public health schools and programmes, including institutions that do not yet offer climate and health-related content.

The findings will contribute to the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change indicator on climate and health education, helping to strengthen the global evidence base on educational gaps, opportunities and progress in integrating climate and planetary health into public health curricula.
