About Human Health Risks, Health Equity and Environmental Justice course
The fourth and final course in the Environmental Impact on Global Public Health specialization will focus on two topics. The first is environmental justice, which is the prevention of inequitable distribution of environmental health threats and the promotion of healthy and safe environments and health equity for all. The second topic is risk assessment and management, which is a framework that can be used to evaluate and quantify risks to human health and to identify appropriate approaches to reduce those risks and improve health. We will look at the steps of risk assessment and how risk assessment can incorporate and address environmental justice issues.
