- Updating clinical guidance to reflect climate risks
- Educating medical leaders on the impacts of climate on health
- Building climate resilient community health clinics
- Researching solutions that improve patient health
Frontline Health Clinics
Protecting patients from climate risks
We are working with frontline health clinics to protect patients’ health from climate shocks like heat waves, hurricanes, flooding, and wildfires. Our programs work with clinic providers, staff, and patients to prevent harm from the climate crisis and improve health equity.
Climate Creators to Watch
Changing the climate narrative through creative and engaging content
We help social media educators integrate climate themes into their content so that climate challenges and solutions become part of everyday conversations. The more audiences learn and talk about climate change, the more empowered they are to take action and protect their health.
Changing the Climate Narrative
Bringing attention to meaningful and effective climate actions
Our experts regularly educate decision makers and the public on climate solutions that can improve health and advance equity. To help scientists, medical professionals, and researchers effectively translate their work to key audiences, we provide media training, planning, and communications support.
