Climate Change and Health
Dr. Robins found some great information on climate change and health from the University of Minnesota Center for Global Health & Social Responsibility. The Center has downloadable PowerPoint slide decks that are available to be used freely for educational and research purposes. The slide decks are excellent and would spark engaging conversation.
Other sources on this topic include:
- Climate Nexus – with an issue area on health.
- When Climate Change Kills: Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown Origin which scientists are considering the increasingly elevated temperatures farm workers experience in the fields.
- Here is a video from an NBC news investigation of the health risks faced by some UPS drivers.
- Research could also be done on the impacts of more dangerous storms and devastating wildfires on the health of a community.
