Overview

How does the challenge of mitigating climate change balance with pursuits of promoting economic growth? Why do inequalities in health, education or opportunity persist within and between countries of the Global North or Global South? Does foreign aid reduce poverty and promote human development? In what ways is migration reshaping cultures, economics or geopolitics in an increasingly integrated world? How do we promote more sustainable futures? The Global Challenges (Planetary Health) degree programme is offered by Brunel University of London.
