What this trial studies
This study aims to implement an interactive digital-based educational program designed for nurses to enhance their understanding and advocacy regarding climate change and its impact on health. It addresses the need for nurses to engage in environmental activism and develop skills to advocate for sustainable practices within their communities.

Why it matters
