Educational Resource Hub
This crowd-sourced database of educational resources is meant to encompass any tools relevant to people working in the climate and health space. This might include submissions by the content authors themselves, or simply recommendations from community members for resources they have found helpful. This collection includes only links directing users to existing resources - it is not meant to house or archive content.
Keep in mind, this is a crowd-sourced database. CAFE does not verify the quality nor endorse the use of any materials included in this database. Make sure to follow the terms of use and attribution requirements specific to each resource. If you have created or used sources that would be relevant to the community of practice, please add it to the database by entering it in the submission form below.
This shortlist is designed for health professionals in clinics or similar settings who are interested in practical, individual actions to advance sustainable health care in their workplace. It offers a concise set of immediate steps that promote environmentally sustainable practices and encourage clinicians to consider environmental impact in their care decisions. The document begins with five individual action areas where health professionals can take direct steps, followed by four system-level actions where they can work with or support their clinic, practice, or hospital leadership to advance sustainability initiatives and establish supportive programs.
Extreme weather events. Air pollution. Degrading water quality. A changing environment.
No matter who you are or what your role is, from health care to community organizing to parenting and beyond, everyone needs to understand how the changing environment affects health in the United States – and what can be done about it. This resource collection is a one-stop-shop for trustworthy information, tools, and tips to protect health, build resilience, and advance sustainability.
The National Academies' Roundtable on Plastics convened a workshop in May 2025 to explore circularity and other approaches for sustainable life cycle management of plastic materials to mitigate plastic pollution, including reduction of plastic waste through redesign, reuse, remaking, and recycling. This workshop specifically addressed areas of both high plastic production and waste, namely packaging, textiles, and building material sectors. Throughout, participants considered solutions including rethinking, redesign, and reuse; the use of these synergies and strategies to minimize impacts on plastic waste; and the associated effects on human and environmental health.
On Wednesday, September 17, 2025, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine released the consensus report: Effects of Human-Caused Greenhouse Gas Emissions on U.S. Climate, Health, and Welfare. This study reviews the latest scientific evidence on whether greenhouse gas emissions are reasonably anticipated to endanger public health and welfare in the United States.
