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.
Welcome to the TEPHINET Library, a repository of resources on epidemiology and public health. Instructor access is required to view some of these materials (for example, instructor guides for several case studies). To request instructor access, please email learning@tephinet.org.
A Step-by-step guide for installing and configuring the Google Earth Engine Python API
This resource highlights the urgent need for public health professionals to communicate the health risks of climate change, which is driven by human activities like fossil fuel combustion. It emphasizes that climate change already impacts the health of Americans and that clear communication can shift public perception from seeing it as solely an environmental issue to recognizing its human health consequences. The primer is designed to equip health professionals with the tools to effectively inform the public, policymakers, and other sectors. Organized into three sections, (1) why, (2) with whom, and (3) how to communicate, it aims to support impactful climate and health messaging.
This practical guide is designed with, and for, people working in city government to understand, reduce the risk of, and respond to, heatwaves in their cities. The guide provides information and recommendations for technical staff within city government, including on: working with partners to understand city-specific heatwave risks; operational approaches to prepare for an imminent heatwave; response strategies to reduce human harm during a heatwave; and ways to learn from a heatwave that has just ended. Case studies from cities around the world are included in this guide to highlight effective urban heat adaptation strategies, including early warning systems, climate-sensitive designs and public information campaigns. Throughout each chapter there are recommended actions that can be taken and online resources for more detailed guidance on heatwave risks.
This workshop introduces participants to the modern approach to working with large datasets in QGIS. Modern data formats - such as Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs (COG), Cloud-Optimized Point Clouds (COPC), and FlatGeoBuf (FGB) allow datasets to be streamed from cloud storage without having to download entire files. Spatial Temporal Asset Catalog (STAC) provides a standardized way to query cloud-hosted datasets. Combined with QGIS, these technologies allow users to visualize and analyze large datasets which was not possible before.
Crowd-Sourced Climate Change and Health Educational Resources Collection Submission Form
Do you have a resource you’d like to share with the community in this educational resource collection? Please fill out the submission form below.
Your entry will be checked to ensure the content is appropriate, but will not be assessed for accuracy or completeness, and no other quality checks will be done.
If you have a dataset you’d like to share with the community, think about posting it to the CAFE collection on Dataverse!
Please fill out the form to add a resource you think might be helpful for the climate change and health community of practice.
The type of resources that should be shared here are one of the following:
- Book or reference text (e.g. textbook or guidebook on best practices or other essential knowledge)
- Code repository (e.g. a GitHub code bank of an existing analysis)
- Online code tutorial or vignette (e.g. a walkthrough of specific code or methods with examples and explanations)
- Online course (e.g. a series of learning objectives with content and assessment)
- Video or recorded webinar (e.g. educational resources presented in video format)
