How should we balance buildings so that they support the health of the planet and the health of the people? How well do we understand the health effects of climate change?

The changing climate is causing increased stress to both buildings and their users. The built environment is also a key source of emissions. Meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement is not possible without strong action in construction.

Climate change is also the underlying driver behind many threats to physical and mental health. This applies not only to humans but to most life on our planet. This course offers an evidence-based, clear and factual introduction to climate change and its relationship to human activities, built environment and health.

'The future for climate-conscious and sustainable design is bright. I am extremely confident that this is a true growth area where smart graduates will be snapped up into the global marketplace in a blink of an eye.', says responsible teacher Professor Laura Arpiainen.
