Climate Change and Health

What are the effects of climate change on our health? What new challenges – also in relations to illnesses – might be coming up and how can we prepare us and our health systems? How can the health sector itself become more climate friendly? These questions and further topics will be discussed during the lecture series “Climate Change and Health”.

The online lecture series is organized by students studying their master’s in Public Health and LMU Munich and Pettenkofer School of Public Health (PSPH).
