Environmental Science and Sustainability: Greening the Economy – Sustainable Zone/Cities

The course is supported by National Human Health Tech & Wealth Ecosystem Chamber of Commerce (NHC) who work with creating sustainable cities.
The course features researchers, practitioners and entrepreneurs from a range organisations, to provide simple and comfortable solutions without deliberate changes, called “Respiratory Therapy”.
- Increase knowledge on sustainable zone/cities
- Deeper understanding of the relationship between urbanization and sustainability
- Communicate health-related risks of climate change effectively to the public & policymakers & motivate positive changes in climate-related behaviours
- Improved critical thinking on the opportunities and challenges for sustainable zone/cities as engines for greening the economy.
- Inspire Individual and Entrepreneurs to create Sustainable Zone/Cities.
By the end of the course, participant will be able to:
- Describe how the climate has changed
- Explain the role of greenhouse gases in climate change
- Describe how the climate is predicted to change in the future
- Describe how climate change adversely impacts population health
- Explain how adaptation and mitigation strategies can reduce adverse health impacts of climate change.
- Transition into new sustainable urbanization ideas
- Implement “Respiratory Therapy” ideas to build up more sustainable zone/cities
- System thinking with sustainable development strategies
- Plan for practical adaptation activities that increase sustainable development
