APPH 1040-GLO will examine the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their effects on health outcome. The SDGs represent a shared global framework adopted by UN member countries to achieve sustainable development by balancing social, economic, and environmental priorities, recognizing that progress in one domain directly affects outcomes in others. This course places particular emphasis on the intersection of SDG 3: Good Health and Well‑Being and SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, exploring how the design, policies, and social environments of cities shape health across the lifespan.
