The fourth module of this series, Climate Change, Environment & Sustainability provides an introduction to climate change and the environment, and linkages to agriculture, nutrition and health. By the end of this session, a successful student should: 

• Explain how humans have driven climate and other environmental changes, with a particular focus on the ways in which the food system has an impact on the environment. 
• Provide an overview of how the environment, food systems and nutrition are connected, with a particular focus on the specific pathways that climate change could affect food and nutrition security through its impact on each element of the food system. 
• Identify and critically debate mitigation and adaption strategies for climate change that are using the food system, considering their co-benefits and trade-offs on nutrition-related health or other societal factors.
