Environment, Climate & Health (MPH, Concentration)
Cornell University
Description
Our MPH Program prepares students in the Environment, Climate & Health concentration to understand and respond to the negative impacts environmental change and climate change have on health. Through coursework and engaged projects our students learn to: Describe and outline pathways of influence between the environment and health outcomes. Critically assess strategies to planetary health issues to advance justice, particularly with marginalized and at-risk populations. Integrate multi-disciplinary perspectives to think critically about causes and leverage points for real-world health and environmental issues. Use evidence to develop and justify upstream strategies to prevent and manage deleterious interaction between environments, climate, and health. Propose methods to support local level process changes to build systems resilient to complex environment, climate, and health issues.
