Climate and Health
Our vision is a world in which climate change does not harm health in the communities it affects most.
Climate and Health Team
Our vision is a world where climate change no longer harms the health of the communities it affects most.
Our work puts health at the heart of climate action. We fund research that shows how climate change impacts physical and mental health, and we work with partners to ensure this evidence drives urgent, equitable climate action.
Our focus is on three key areas: building a global, collaborative climate and health community; generating inclusive research that reveals how climate change affects health; and ensuring this evidence drives decisions that protect people and promote resilience.
