Our team at 350.org had the honor of playing a very small part in developing a vitally important new course being offerred for free online at [NextGenU](https://www.nextgenu.org/). Here’s the quick blurb from [the course page on the NextGenU website](https://www.nextgenu.org/course/view.php?id=73#):

_This Climate Change and Health Certificate teaches about the effects of climate change on human health (through online didactics), and gives a chance to practice techniques to reduce those effects (with globally-available peers and mentors). All components of this training (like all NextGenU.org trainings) are free, including registration, learning, testing, and a certificate of completion._
