SD 3580 - Sustainable Development and Health (3)

When Offered: On Demand
Health is integral to sustainable development. Global health threats can undercut equitable and sustainable development, and unsustainable development can, in turn, create local and global health threats, including the climate crisis. But this cycle can also be reversed: sustainable development can provide public and private goods essential for good health, including clean water, sanitation, air quality, access to basic healthcare, and healthy environments. This course examines how such interconnectedness can result in poverty traps and inequality and how strategies for breaking the cycle and using health interventions to support sustainable development can result in positive health outcomes.
