Climate Risks and Health Solutions

Syllabus Bank

Climate risks are no longer theoretical. This course provides students with a broad overview of the health consequences of climate change resulting from changing temperatures, extreme weather, fires, air pollution, and water quality. The course will introduce students to practical solutions that both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve human health. These solutions include energy efficiency and decarbonization in buildings, electrifying transportation, changing food production, and engagement with healthcare organizations. Students will be exposed to a range of practitioners working to implement solutions in a variety of sectors. They will gain practical skills needed to support the development of regulations, policies, and programs. Assignments will give students experience developing written materials and practicing oral skills to engage in climate policy work.
