Insights into interactions between human health and planetary health

Through group work, students shall conduct research and investigate the current state of issues in human health and the global environment, setting a "Group Theme" and gathering information, literature, etc. Based on the "Group Theme," each student shall set their "Individual Theme" and conduct exploration and research based on the literature (reviews and meta-analyses).

The instructor will advise all students in the class to deepen their learning of "Health Issues for People and the Earth."
