Lectures Planetary Health: Climate.Environment.Health 
The climate crisis and other global environmental changes are already affecting health on a global and local scale, with further extensive changes in the future. Evidence on these interactions is steadily growing, and everybody in health care and with an interest in health needs to understand the far-reaching connections in the context of planetary health. 
With this short seminar series, we aim to provide an overview along the spectrum of mitigation ("prevent the unmanageable") and adaptation ("manage the the unpreventable") to give a first insight into the field of Planetary Health. It is organised by the team Planetary and Global Health of the medical school at Würzburg University.
