Aims and activities
Climate change is driving an escalating public health crisis which puts at least 3.3 billion people at risk worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The Climate and Health Funders Coalition was created to:
- Align and expand funding efforts to address the most urgent climate and health challenges - unlocking long-term investment from public, private, and multilateral sources
- Set shared goals and use robust data and science to design, implement, and scale solutions
- Shift funding and power to communities most affected by climate change, ensuring solutions are implemented where they are needed most.
The immediate focus of this Coalition is to accelerate solutions, innovations, policies and research on extreme heat, air pollution, climate-sensitive infectious disease, and data for decision-making.
