INSTRUCTOR: LeClair, Jessica
CREDITS: 3-4
Human health and wellbeing are dependent on the constancy and functioning of the Earth’s systems—including its oceans, forests, biogeochemical cycles, atmosphere, and levels of biodiversity. The emerging field of Planetary Health explores how transgressing planetary limits, such as damaging climate systems through excessive carbon emissions, is incompatible with continued human thriving. Addressing questions regarding how human society can thrive and develop in this era, while remaining within planetary boundaries, are the paramount issues of our time. In this interdisciplinary course, students will explore the intersections between risks to planetary health and the resulting impacts on communities using the lenses of healthcare, population health, social and environmental justice, and will create advocacy plans with community partners to support them in responding and adapting to climate change.
