Introduction to Climate Change and Health<\/b>:\u00a0https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/learn\/introduction-climate-change-health<\/a><\/div>\n
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to human health in the 21st century. Yet these impacts to health are still not well recognized. Since you can\u2019t change what you don\u2019t understand, this course is designed to equip health and environmental professionals, as well as other changemakers and the public, with critical and usable knowledge to take positive action. The course begins with an introduction to the science of climate change and how climate change affects human health. It takes a deep dive into climate change\u2019s adverse health effects, including those related to extreme heat, waterborne infections, insect-borne diseases, and exposure to storms and floods. Throughout, the theme of health equity is interwoven by pointing to what factors make some populations more vulnerable than others to climate change\u2019s negative health impacts. Finally, the course explains how measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions can not only limit future climate change but can also generate substantial immediate health \u201cco-benefits\u201d over and above the benefit of reducing climate change.<\/div>\n

Climate Adaptation for Human Health<\/b>:\u00a0https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/learn\/climateadaptation<\/a><\/div>\n
The world\u2019s climate is changing, and among the most significant negative consequences is to human health. While climate change is a global health issue, its health impacts vary across geographies and populations. In this course, you will learn why taking action to plan for and adapt to climate change is necessary for protecting human health, as well as what kinds of actions are most appropriate for a particular location and population. You also will learn tools and strategies to effectively plan for and enact adaptation actions that build resilience to climate change\u2019s negative effects.<\/div>\n

\n<\/span>Communicating Climate Change and Health:\u00a0<\/b>https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/learn\/climatecommunication<\/a><\/div>\n
How can you persuasively discuss the negative effects of climate change on human health to motivate change in your community? How do you encourage your friends, family, neighbors and community leaders to take meaningful action to address these impacts? In this course, you will learn to communicate the health-related risks of climate change effectively to the public and policymakers and motivate positive changes in climate-related behaviors. Starting with a review of best practices in health risk communication, the course examines the specific challenges of climate change communication and successful strategies to address these challenges. Throughout the course, you will build a step-by-step plan for developing and delivering a communications campaign.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
