In this course, students will be exposed to the fundamental concepts, principles, theories, and contemporary practices within the field of health promotion, as a core function of public health. Additionally, the course introduces the students to health promotion using lenses of health equity and social determinants of health. The curriculum aims to impart both practical and theoretical knowledge encompassing the planning, development, implementation, and evaluation of health promotion-focused public health interventions.
Climate change has already negatively affected the physical and mental health of millions of people around the world. How will these risks evolve as climate change intensifies? Who will bear the largest climate-health burdens and why? And, what can we do about it? This course answers these questions by examining the ways in which climate change is affecting human health and exploring strategies for reducing those impacts. Students will engage in a range of climate-health topics that emphasize the role of health equity, climate justice, and sustainable development in climate-health solutions. Through discussions with experts, engaging with diverse knowledge systems, and learning through real-world examples, students will gain an understanding of the inequitable health impacts of climate change, explore potential solutions, and discover new opportunities for meaningful climate action by viewing the crisis through a health lens. This course is open to students in all disciplines and sectors, underscoring the value of cross-sectoral collaboration and the importance of climate action both within and outside the health sector. Taken together, the course demonstrates that although climate change poses a critical threat to global health, addressing it also offers opportunities to strengthen public health by acting on the core determinants that shape human health and wellbeing.

Climate change and health is a rapidly emerging field with exponentially increasing research outputs and expanding areas of practice. Climate change topics increasingly demand the public's attention, including news headlines, local to international policies, images of increasing extreme weather events, climate strikes, government election platforms, and increasing international reports on climate change impacts. Climate change is a hot topic! Alongside this rapid pace of climate change developments is the urgency for health action and immediate attention.
