The Problem & Opportunity
Climate change harms our health. Climate solutions make us healthier.
Climate change already causes more illnesses and deaths from heat waves, extreme weather events, wildfires, and increased air pollution, especially in low-income communities and communities of color. Climate action will rapidly deliver health benefits and create a stable climate future.
What We Do
Promoting health and equity in climate policy.
From air pollution regulations to building and transportation electrification to an improved food economy, we advocate for proposed climate policies that advance health and equity.
Fostering collective action.
We make sure the health voice is heard when and where it matters. We advocate federally and support our State Network’s advocacy in states and local communities.
Diversifying and growing the movement.
We are growing our numbers, diversity, and power. We recognize our collective voice must represent the unique insights and life experiences of every community.
