Field Trips | 26 January 2023

Our health is closely linked to the environment we live in. However, our climate is changing, with significant consequences for our health, wellbeing and safety.

Climate change is a change in the world’s weather systems that occurs over decades. Most of the recent changes in our climate have been brought about by human activity. Without intervention, the changing climate will have far-reaching and catastrophic consequences for our state, the country and the rest of the world. It is an urgent problem with implications at the global, national, community and personal level.

What is the Climate Change?
The United Nations gave a definition of Climate change as it a long-term shift in temperatures and weather patterns. It was driven by nature but since 1800’s it has been human activities that became a main driven of the changes [1].

The Climate change has been discussed broadly at national and international level. It is significantly consequence and related to human health, well-being, and life safety. Without interventions, the changing climate will have far-reaching and catastrophic consequences for our state, the country, and the rest of the world. It is an essential and urgent issue with implications at the global, national, community and personal level.

The field trip this year will show how the experiences and the connections between climate change and human health, the opportunity gains and threats of exponential technological change, and evolving threats to global health and wellbeing posed by climate change.
