Our world’s cli­mate is chang­ing. Pub­lic health is being chal­lenged by the emerg­ing issues brought upon by the Anthro­pocene: res­pi­ra­to­ry dis­eases induced by pol­lu­tion, zoonoses relat­ed to bio­di­ver­si­ty loss, chang­ing infec­tious dis­eases as a results of cli­mate change. By look­ing at air qual­i­ty, nutri­tion, infec­tious dis­eases, and human migra­tion, this course will show you how increas­es in green­house gas­es impact pub­lic health. 

Encoun­ter­ing sev­er­al simul­ta­ne­ous risky sit­u­a­tions, mankind may have the choice to ease its future … or not.
