Climate Change, Migration, and Health: Instructor's Note
2018
This instructor’s note supports a teaching pack on climate change, migration, and health, developed by the Global Health Education and Learning Incubator at Harvard University. The note provides a brief overview, describes the teaching pack’s contents and instructional model, summarizes the two accompanying lessons and learning objectives, and offers a summary of a global health framework to help guide classroom discussion. The pack challenges students to consider how climate-related events that accompany global warming impact population health and migration patterns worldwide, now and in the future. One of the lessons focuses on global governance and negotiation, considering the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UN FCCC); the other focuses on poverty-related mitigation of the effects of climate change, particularly as it contributes to global risks of disaster and related forced migration. The teaching pack is designed to help undergraduate and graduate students learn to approach climate change as a global issue with local ramifications. In addition to the lessons, companion materials in the pack include an annotated bibliography and glossary of terms.
