Climate and Health

Climate and Health Is for Everyone

Climate change is already shaping health outcomes, widening inequities, and affecting the resilience of communities across the country. Every climate solution is also a health intervention, whether we name it or not.

About the Program

The Climate Advocacy Lab’s Climate + Health Program helps climate professionals across sectors connect their work to what people care about most: their health, the well-being of their communities, and the future of the places they call home.

Who is this work for?

This work is not just for clinicians. It is for organizers, advocates, policy professionals, funders, communicators, planners, and movement leaders working to advance effective and durable climate solutions.

Health is one of the most powerful ways to humanize complex issues, build trust, and expand who feels included in climate work. By centering health, we strengthen narratives, deepen engagement, and support strategies that resonate across communities and sectors.

Why Climate + Health Matters

Health connects climate change to everyday life.

  • Everyone cares about their health and the health of their loved ones
  • Health humanizes climate change and other complex challenges
  • Health professionals are the most trusted messengers
  • Health can bridge political and sectoral divides
  • Health connects climate solutions to lived experience

When climate action is grounded in health, it becomes more tangible, more inclusive, and more motivating.

What the Climate + Health Program Does

The Climate + Health Program strengthens climate advocacy by:

  • Building capacity for health-informed climate action
  • Integrating health across the Lab’s programs and resources
  • Supporting peer learning and leadership development
  • Translating evidence into practical tools and strategies
  • Centering lived experience, equity, and care

Our goal is to make climate + health a shared language across climate work, not an add-on, but a natural part of effective strategy.
