This course is part of the Certificate peer learning programme for leadership in climate change and health.
Share experience with health workers worldwide to learn about how to support children’s health amidst the climate crisis
Connect with colleagues from over 80 countries who are protecting children from climate change health impacts. This free peer learning experience brings together Save the Children’s latest policy guidance with The Geneva Learning Foundation’s proven method for sharing knowledge across borders.
You will learn directly from health workers facing the same challenges you see every day. Share your experiences. Get practical ideas you can use immediately. Build lasting connections with professionals worldwide.
What you will gain

Your learning community
Join health workers, nurses, doctors, program managers, and policy makers from every continent. Learn from someone managing child malnutrition in Kenya. Share ideas with a nurse treating heat illness in India. Get advice from a program manager building climate-ready health centers in Bangladesh.

Start learning with the world today.
Why this partnership matters
Save the Children, the world’s leading child rights organization, has joined with The Geneva Learning Foundation to transform their major policy report into an interactive learning experience. Instead of reading alone, you learn with peers who understand your daily challenges.
This is not a traditional course. You create projects based on your real work. Colleagues from other countries review your ideas and share their own solutions. Together, you build knowledge that works in the real world.
