ÐßÐßÊÓò¤

While many consider climate change to be a looming environmental threat—one that stands to impact future generations more so than today—millions of people die globally every year because of health issues linked to climate change. Further, these health threats and impacts are not evenly distributed or experienced across geographies or populations, but rather, are disproportionately burdening specific populations. The climate crisis is a public health crisis that will continue to pose significant threats in the absence of concerted action.

The Climate Grand Challenge will highlight the most robust actions to address climate change that could yield a healthier, more resilient society. The ÐßÐßÊÓò¤ will serve as a unifying hub for any organization or individual who cares about this issue to come together and take action, to ultimately catalyze a climate and health movement.

Highlighting individual climate actions: Many individuals are committed to responding to climate change. For example, the ÐßÐßÊÓò¤ invited the Climate Collaborative Movement Organizations to share how they are driving progress on addressing climate change and health, which can be found in theÌýClimate Action Showcase.
