Climate and Health

Our Climate and Health studies scope and implement interventions to mitigate respiratory health challenges due to climate change.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), climate change is the single greatest threat facing humanity and its effects on human health are already being felt. Climate change is a major challenge to public health, affecting the environments in which we live and work, the health of many populations, the wellbeing of our societies, and which risks increasing health inequalities.

These projects are taking urgent steps to prevent the climate crisis from getting worse, protect the communities most at risk, and help deliver sustainable and resilient health and care systems.
