Climate Information for Public Health
Action Newsletter
We've spent a lot of time on capacity building this quarter. Capacity building is a challenging, long-term process, but to those of us involved in promoting the use of climate information for public health, it is part and parcel of what we do. Our goal is not just to strengthen the technical capacity of individuals and organizations to identify their data needs, but also to improve the collection, analysis, and use of data to inform health-related decision-making. Read more about this in the 5th issue of the CIPHA newsletter.
