Global Health and Sustainable Development

In addition to individual care, health education addresses global concerns through academic initiatives such as UF in Greece – Health Narratives & Problem Solving for Medical NGOs and UF in the UK – Health Disparities and Health Charities. These pursuits often intersect with sustainable development, which is a type of economic growth pattern where the use of resources meets the needs of the human population while conserving the environment at the same time. Sustainable development means resources are used in such a way that both current and future human needs can be met. The curriculum examines the importance of sustainable development in counteracting global climate change, focusing on energy sources that meet current and future demands and water conservation.
