About the course

Prospective students in the Environment, Climate and Health Concentration understand that the health of the planet and the health of its people are inextricably linked. They aim to contribute innovative solutions to complex environment, climate, and health challenges: health equity in the transition to clean energy, safe drinking water for vulnerable children, protection from infection where we work and play, economically feasible actions with co-benefits for public health and climate sustainability. If you wish to contribute to create a healthy, sustainable, and equitable future as a public health professional, this Gillings MPH concentration is designed for you. The Environment, Climate and Health Concentration, uniquely housed in the Gillings School of Global Public Health and Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering, will equip you with skills and know-how to identify and mitigate the adverse impacts of climate and environmental change on human health. Through a highly tailored curriculum and real-world experience, our students develop broadly applicable skills to address a range of exposure risks and sources, such as threats posed by climate change, emerging chemical contaminants in air, infectious agents in water, and workplace hazards. We welcome those interested in both local and global challenges. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
