medical students who believe in climate action

Planetary Health Modules

Thanks to the work of student volunteers, we have compiled evidence-based knowledge into several learning modules to document the intersection of climate change and health, answer critical questions, and explore the ways healthcare providers, can address some of our world’s most pressing issues.

These learning modules contain up-to-date knowledge, real-life examples, and practical approaches to improve both community and climate health. The content of the learning modules will be continually updated as existing research evolves.

As at team of medical students from the University of British Columbia, we believe one of the first steps to climate action is knowledge sharing.

We have developed modules on:

Module 1: Population Health
Module 2: Health Threats
Module 3: Impacts on Health
Module 4: Sustainable Healthcare
Module 5: Connecting with Nature
Module 6: Plastic pollution
