Description: There is clear evidence that climate change is increasing the risk of infectious disease affecting the health of populations globally. As the largest health professional group in Canada, nurses have an important role to play in addressing health challenges related to climate change. The International Council of Nurses has called upon the profession to participate in actions to mitigate the impact of climate change, and in particular, to address its effects on populations with a greater vulnerability to disease.
This webinar series, presented by Climate-Driven Infectious Disease (CDID) Advisory Committee, aims to support dialogue on the important topic of climate change and nursing. Presenters will share information on the soon-to-be released Climate-Driven Vector-Borne Diseases and Nursing E-Resource, one of the two deliverables of CASN’s ‘Empowering the next generation of health care professionals with knowledge, skills, tools, and supports to address infectious diseases related to climate change in Canada’ project.
Made possible with funding from the Public Health Agency of Canada, the goal of this project is to increase the knowledge of the effects of climate driven infectious diseases on population health in Canada amongst nurse educators, and to foster the integration of this knowledge into Canadian nursing education programs.

The mission statement of the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN) is to lead nursing education and nursing scholarship in the interest of healthier Canadians. CASN is a non-profit corporation, and does not engage in commercial activities generally, let alone commercial use of its information.
Furthermore,
For the above reasons, it is the Association’s understanding that its information is not “personal information” as foreseen in the privacy act legislation. CASN has nonetheless adopted a formal privacy policy, for the following reasons. First, there are occasional instances of information which might exceptionally be considered personal. Furthermore, CASN supports responsible governance, and has drafted the following privacy policy in that light.
As part of its programs and services, CASN collects data to support nursing education and nursing scholarship for the purposes of planning, administrating, forecasting and reporting.
Data collection may include student levels, faculty levels, educational offerings, curriculum content, areas of research expertise and international linkages. Contact information and curriculum vitae for deans, directors, faculty and researchers may be collected from time to time for specific projects.
All data are collected on a volunteer basis via school administrators or their designate. Data are aggregated to the level of programs and schools. Only researcher information is identifiable at the individual level; however, this information is also submitted voluntarily.
Data collected on nursing education and nursing scholarship are public and included in project reports, fact sheets, newsletters and web-surveys. Any fees charged by CASN for reports, are on a cost-recovery basis.
Any personal information collected from individuals as “raw data” or as part of CASN employee files is held within CASN in confidential files with access restricted to the respective National Office staff. The following are specific examples.

It is henceforth CASN’s policy to obtain the consent of the candidates for such positions, for that purpose. This information is not retained after these individuals have left office.
D. Information on research projects in the field of nursing, being conducted by researchers. This often includes the amount and source of the research grants involved. This is disseminated for mutual support, to reduce the risk of duplication, and to assist the cause of research grantsmanship generally. This information is collected from institutions, and it is the latter who take responsibility for obtaining whatever consents are necessary from the researchers involved. After approximately five years, this information is archived, but may be accessed to track patterns of historical evolution in research.
E. Information on research interests of the individuals associated with CASN, The listing of individuals with similar interests facilitates networking. It is CASN’s policy to obtain the consent of the individuals involved for that purpose. The information about a given individual’s research interests is not retained after that individual has ceased to be associated with CASN or has otherwise indicated that he/she is no longer interested in networking for that purpose.

G. Surveys of opinions of researchers and other opinion-leaders concerning nursing research in Canada. CASN conducts these periodic surveys, with the written consent of the participants. Completed surveys themselves are sent to a private consultant and the results do not reveal individual responses, and the researcher is contractually bound to destroy the evidence linking individuals with a given opinion, once the latter has been aggregated.
