Overview
Human health and wellbeing is intricately linked to the health of the natural environment. Climate change, environmental degradation and unsustainable living are causing a range of physical and mental health impacts that require evidence-based, co-designed interventions developed through system thinking. This specialisation enhances your understanding of the complex relationship between human health and the environment through exploring topics in public health, health promotion, health equity and human rights, social impact assessments, and community consultation and participation.
