Investigating Climate Change Impacts on Human Health with a Civic Lens part of Curriculum for the Bioregion:Activities
In this human biology module, students consider how climate change affects human health and the inequity of those impacts on some communities. They evaluate different perspectives on the issue and ways to address the issue by exploring case studies featured by StoryCorps, as well as peer-reviewed scientific literature, science magazines, government publications, and non-profit-based resources. Students then take the first step towards civic transformation - they talk with friends and families, telling their own story of how climate change is harming their health and the health of their communities.
