Planetary Health

Over deze cursus

Inhoud:

Our health is affected by the environment we live in. By our social and community networks, our living and working conditions, the society we are part of, the countries and continents we live in, the health of animals and the environment we share with them, and the state of the natural systems on this planet. In this course, we will discuss, together with experts and guest lecturers in the field, the impacts, and challenges of planetary health from a global perspective.

Because health has many determinants that exceed the ‘biomedical’ domain, an interdisciplinary approach is required to tackle these global challenges. As such, we will discuss various topics, including environmental contributors to health (e.g. air pollution), climate change, disaster management, health system resilience, gender, human rights and global health governance. This course is open to students from any background interested in these topics.
