CPHA National Strategy

CPHA Public Education and Outreach (PEO) Strategy

Public education and outreach will be critical to addressing climate change effectively. Individual Canadians and their communities have a significant role to play in both reducing their emissions of key pollutants and protecting themselves from the health impacts of climate change. However, greater understanding of climate change, its effects, and its relationship to other public health threats such as air pollution will be needed before Canadians will be prepared to take these critical actions.

As such, the purpose of this strategy is to build awareness and understanding among Canadians regarding the health effects of climate change, in order, ultimately, to engage Canadians and their communities in taking action to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change.
