Research to Practice

In addition to providing novel research in the areas of climate and health, the Center for Climate and Health places emphasis on translating research into concrete action. We promote collaboration outside the research community by holding panels across many sectors such as journalism, policy and activism. We have released two white papers informing the Biden-Harris transition team on the importance of focusing climate action on health and the need for enhanced environmental justice policy. Members of our group work within the community on mitigation and adaption efforts, and we continue to look for opportunities to see our research into progress.
