She highlights why combining expert knowledge with frontline experience matters for building a health workforce ready for these challenges. Climate change is changing how diseases spread and what health workers face on the ground. Higher temperatures, flooding, and poor sanitation create conditions where viruses spread faster, new pathogens emerge, and outbreaks happen more often. • How GCCHE prepares health professionals worldwide to address climate impacts on health • The connection between climate change and disease outbreaks, vector-borne illness, and water contamination • GCCHE's free virtual course on reproductive, maternal and newborn health in a changing climate (launching July 7, with French and Spanish captions) • Why combining academic expertise with community health worker experience strengthens climate and health responses • How TGLF and GCCHE work together to bridge global knowledge and local frontline practice The new reproductive health course is created with UNICEF, the International Confederation of Midwives, and the International Medical Corps.
