Climate Impacts on Water-Related Illness

The term paper should be a 12-15 page (double-spaced or 1.5 spaced) paper (this page number does not include the evidence table which should be included with your final document) that focuses on the climate change-related adverse health outcome examined in the context of a vulnerable population.   Pick one of the climate change impacts, and then focus your paper on a particular adverse health outcome. There is a fair amount of latitude allowed in how you choose to approach your paper, provided your paper follows the structure described below.

Your paper should consist of the following, and include headings for each of the sections described below:

• Introduction & statement of the problem you are addressing
• Literature review – Brief review of pertinent literature
• Discussion of the problem (in the context of your particular focus area)
• Conclusions based upon your analysis of the problem
• Recommendations for improvements or how to address the problem in the future
• Evidence Table containing complete citations for literature used in the paper (this will substitute for the formal bibliography).
