Important issues for ongoing global environmental change

Order Description Part A: Thinking globally Provide an overview of the global environmental health issues relating to the topic you have identified. It will be necessary to consider the causes and interaction of other areas of global concern, but should focus primarily on one area. Discuss the actual or potential long and short term impacts for the world, of ongoing change in the area. Part B: Thinking and acting locally 1) Identify actual or potential health risks to members of the community locally associated with the issue discussed in part A. These will be local public health issues which also have relevance for people everywhere. 2) Having identified the issue/problem or risk to health that already exists or may arise, make recommendations for action for your identified local community, using the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion (WHO, 1986).
