Planetary Health
UBC Applied Science Strategic Priority Area
Climate change is undeniably one of the largest impacts of human behaviour and may be humankind’s greatest challenge. It will result in higher temperatures, sea-level rise, increased storm strength and occurrence, and drought that will alter food production, biodiversity, migration and human disease patterns.
Through all of our consultation sessions, nothing weighed more on our students, faculty and staff than the need for urgent and accelerated global environmental action. As a Faculty, we are passionate about finding solutions to the climate crisis and creating leaders in environmental action in areas of climate, sustainability and planetary health.
