    • This webinar is part 2 of the series Nursing on the Frontlines of the Climate Crisis: Education for Action, developed through a collaboration between the Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education, Nursing - Climate Resources for Health Education, the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments, the Canadian Association of Nurses for the Environment, and Climate Action Nurses. This presentation discusses the relationship between climate change and vector-borne diseases (VBD), including water-borne, food-borne, and zoonotic diseases. It highlights the roles nurses can play in VBD prevention and identifies intersectoral measures that mitigate VBD risks.

      Learning Objectives:

      1. Describe the relationships between VBD and climate change (e.g. water-borne, food-borne and zoonotic).
      2. Identify nursing roles associated with prevention of VBDs.
      3. Discuss how positionality and intersectionality shapes discourses of exposed populations at risk and vulnerable to VBD.
      4. Identify intersectoral and multisectoral measures at local, regional, and national levels that mitigate the risk of acquiring VBDs and the adverse effects of VBD on health.
      5. Define the epidemiology of VBD as these relate to climate change.
