Record global temperatures and the coronavirus pandemic have brought planetary health to centre stage.
Planetary health recognises the relationship between human health and the health of the planet – and the impact of human behaviour upon the natural world.
Drawing on a range of disciplines, this new course focuses on finding local solutions within a global context. Students explore pressing issues including climate change and disaster response, foregrounding important viewpoints such as Aboriginal knowledges and local community needs.
Graduating with practical knowledge, students will be prepared to design and apply innovative responses to issues in the workplace and community – creating healthier, fairer, and more sustainable environments.
