Climate Change and Human Health Lesson Plans

Help with this landscape analysis.

As climate change has become more apparent, there has been interest across the country to find ways to incorporate the topic of climate change into the classroom.

According to a recent NPR/Ipsos poll (https://www.npr.org/2019/04/22/714262267/most-teachers-dont-teach-climat...), 86 percent of teachers and more than 80 percent of parents say the subject should be taught in school.

A few years ago NIEHS developed Climate Change and Human Health Lesson Plans (https://www.niehs.nih.gov/health/scied/teachers/cchh/index.cfm). A processor at the University of Ilinois at Chicago is doing a landscape analysis regarding lesson plans connecting climate change and human health. Please let them know if you are involved with or aware of any efforts lessons like this. Contact information is below.
