Multiple environmental crises – climate change, environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, resource depletion – are already affecting every inhabited region of the globe, impacting human health in direct, indirect, and systemic ways. At the systemic level, they act as risk multipliers, compounding the effects of pre-existing social and political determinants of health, including human mobility. This course discusses the interactions between environmental crises and human mobility, and their impact on human health.
Traditional Land Acknowledgement We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land. |
