Thematik

It is increasingly evident that environmental challenges impact human health, reinforcing existing risks. For instance, climate change is estimated to cause around 250,000 additional deaths per year between 2030 and 2050. So, climate change's health impact is crucial knowledge for future doctors. The course aims to provide a foundation of this knowledge for preventing and curing those diseases that, according to our current knowledge, are most affected by climate change.
