MSc Climate Change & Planetary Health (on campus)

London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, University of London

We are already seeing the health impacts of climate change unfold around us in extreme heat, growing pressure on food systems, worsening air quality, the spread of infectious diseases, and the strain on health services. To meet these challenges, we need to understand the link between planetary and human health. That is why planetary health matters: it brings together environmental science, public health and policy to help us respond to today's risks and build a more resilient future.The MSc in Climate Change and Planetary Health explores how environmental change affects human health and the systems that sustain human wellbeing. The programme examines the drivers of climate and ecological change, the mechanisms through which these changes influence health outcomes, and the strategies and solutions that can reduce risks and support more sustainable and resilient societies.You will study climate change and planetary health at one of the world’s leading schools of public health. Drawing on interdisciplinary research across LSHTM, including leading work from experts within the Centre on Climate Change and Planetary Health, the programme will give you a strong foundation in planetary health. This will enable you to analyse and address the complex links between environmental sustainability and population health.
