MyAV·¶

Our work ranges from ensuring policymakers have access to high-quality evidence-based guidance, through to providing the health profession with the tools they need to improve public health.

Challenge being addressed

Climate change threatens to undermine the last fifty years of gains in public health, intensifying heatwaves and other weather, altering the spread of infectious diseases, and exacerbating poverty and mental ill-health. Responses to climate change bring immense benefits for human health, with cleaner air, healthier diets, and more liveable cities.

Impact

• To make clear how climate change is affecting our health, the consequences of delayed action and the health benefits of a robust response.
• To bring together climate scientists, engineers, energy specialists, economists, political scientists, public health professionals, and doctors.
