Description

The vision of the Center for Health and the Global Environment (CHanGE) is “a world in which climate action protects health and health action prioritizes climate resilience.” CHanGE pursues this by carrying out teaching and training, research, and practice related to climate and health in the Schools of Medicine and Public Health. CHanGE supports graduate training and a graduate certificate in climate change and health, a broad climate and health research agenda, and a growing climate and health community of practice. CHanGE is an EarthLab member organization and works closely with other climate-related centers, units, and programs across the university.
