Past Projects

For over 25 years we’ve created knowledge and tools that make it possible to live in a healthier, more just and sustainable world. Some of our past projects include:

Climate Change and Infectious Disease

Reducing the risks of emerging infectious diseases by catalyzing actions that bring us back into balance with nature.

Fossil Fuels and Health

Producing and burning fossil fuels creates air pollution that harms our health and generates toxic emissions that drive climate change.

Natural Gas and Gas Stoves

We examined the climate, health, and safety implications of natural gas at every stage of its lifecycle. 

Clean Energy and Health

Renewable electricity projects and energy efficiency measures can improve health and reduce air pollution.

Climate Policies and Health

Policies to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels can save lives and prevent disease.
