Core and ICT skills. Students will be able to outline the main health risks associated with global environmental change such as ozone depletion and climate change. Students will be aware of the main drivers of global population change and be able to discuss predicted changes. Students will be aware of the drawbacks of population predictions and will be able to debate whether population or consumption is a more significant threat to the environmental limits set by planet Earth. Students will have built up a case study of a country/society experiencing specific patterns of overall population change. Get students into different groups to research the health impacts of global environmental change including skin cancer, cataracts, heatwaves, cold spells, dengue fever, lyme disease, west Nile virus and zika virus. (consider the impacts of the latter on the Rio Olympics 2016). Look at projected population distributions. How much variation exists between different projections? Why is there variation?
