Connecting Health and Sustainability Seminar Series The “Connecting Health and Sustainability” seminar series will engage public health professionals, including faculty, staff and students, on the issue of sustainability and its critical link to public health. Experts from fields including environmental justice/ community engagement, the food system, human rights/resource conflict, environmental economics, mass media and health communication will illustrate the connection between how we use and live on this planet and the resulting impact on public health and the environment. Participants will gain valuable insight into why these topics are relevant to public health professionals and how to utilize their profession to influence behavior and policy to reduce our environmental impact.
