It is clear that the impacts of harming our planet and climate change are among the greatest public health threats we face. Creating a concentration in climate change and planetary health is an important marker at the School to recognize the fact that this isn't only an engineering or an entrepreneurial or technological issue, but that health really needs to be at the middle of this conversation.
There's been a real clamoring for this among students and increased interest among faculty to contribute to the knowledge base and to develop solutions.
In order to adequately prepare, adapt, and create resilience against these upcoming threats, we are bringing together faculty with different skill sets from across the School to teach in the program. We are excited to prepare the next generation of leaders to tackle this existential crisis that touches every domain of public health.
