About this Unit

Climate change is the single biggest health threat facing humanity and healthcare professionals worldwide. As nurses comprise the largest healthcare discipline, they must be educated to mitigate the health sector’s impact on the environment, prepare for current and future health impacts of environmental change, and advocate for greater attention to planetary health. Planetary health recognises the interconnection between the health of the Earth’s natural systems and the wellbeing of human beings. It emphasises the need for sustainable practices and policies that protect both the environment and the health of current and future generations. This unit will explore a number of these concepts, and discuss both mitigation and adaptation to prepare students to both advocate for change and develop strategies to address the challenges faced by healthcare.
