This course is an initiative of the Portuguese Council for Health and the Environment (CPSA) and the NOVA National School of Public Health (NOVA NSPH). Its main aim is to raise awareness among health professionals about the effects of environmental determinants on public health, present mitigation and adaptation strategies, reduce the environmental impact of the health sector and make health systems more resilient to the increased risk of climate disasters.

The aim is to empower all health professionals, from students to decision-makers, in Portuguese-speaking countries to become actively involved and lead a collective effort towards a more sustainable future, promoting healthier environments for health services and their professionals, while helping to reduce their environmental impact.

João Pedro Gouveia is taking part in the "Climate Change and Climate Disasters" targeting vulnerability to cold.
