📊Climate change impacts global health by increasing the prevalence of certain diseases and health conditions. ➡️ Rising temperatures contribute to the spread of vector-borne illnesses like West Nile Virus and Lyme disease and exacerbate respiratory and heart conditions due to higher levels of atmospheric pollution. That’s why TechChange, in partnership with Abt Global, launched a course earlier this year: Climate Change, Global Health, and Technology: An Intersectional Approach. This course equips practitioners with the skills needed to tackle the complex challenges at the intersection of these fields. The first cohort wrapped up last month, so now we've taken a look at the feedback. Want to learn what participants took away from the course - and how you can join a future cohort?
