“This project us going to be very impactful to our community, especially if we are going to strengthen our healthcare workers to know how to respond to the climate changes that are occurring in the country currently.

“Human resources for health is a significant crisis in our region. There is only 3% of the health workers in a context which is grappling with about 24% of the global burden of disease, and the climate crisis is only amplifying that and widening the inequities that exist.”

“[Climate change] affects everyone, especially the most vulnerable, such as women and children. We must work to identify who the most vulnerable are in our constituencies and ensure that their needs and services are prioritized.”

“The health sector must take proactive steps to raise awareness of the impacts of climate change on human health. Local, provincial, and federal governments must all work to prevent this crisis from getting worse.”
