Inhoud
Global Health is the area of study, research, and practice that aims to improve health and wellbeing worldwide. As is becoming increasingly visible, the environment and climate change are a major threat to health worldwide, and will likely increase health inequities between countries if we do not act.
In this course we will discuss, together with experts and guest lecturers in the field, the impacts and challenges of environmental health and climate change from a global perspective.
Because health has many determinants and these exceed the ‘biomedical’ domain, an interdisciplinary approach is required to tackle these global challenges. As such, we will discuss a diversity of topics including environmental contributors to health (e.g. air pollution), infectious disease, climate change, disaster management, gender, and human rights and global health governance. Because of this, this course will be open for students from any background with an interest in these topics.
