Understanding How Climate Change Impacts Human Health

DrPH. William Pan, of the Duke Global Health Institute and Nicholas School of the Environment, understands that human health is intricately tied to how climate change can effect our environments. Pan works with the concept of One Health, which demonstrates the overlapping consequences to human health, animal health and environmental health.

Pan explores how issues such as malaria, human migration due to inhospitable environments and unhealthy iron levels exacerbated by flooding, contribute to humans being more susceptible to infectious and chronic disease, as well as issues with animal and ecosystem health.
