25 universities inject climate change into medical curricula

Twenty-five top universities from 12 European countries – led by the University of Glasgow – have launched a network to educate and train medical students on the dangers of climate change to health. The European Network on Climate and Health Education (ENCHE) will also teach about sustainable healthcare.

It is estimated that 5% of all greenhouse gas emissions come from the health sector.

Network universities aim to equip up to 10,000 medical students a year with the awareness and knowledge to prevent, identify, and treat diseases that are new and changing in their countries and regions. Among those most feared is malaria, as mosquitoes move north to an increasingly hotter Europe.
