2024: George Mason University: Generating insights into the national climate and health policy ecosystem in diverse geographies to drive climate action among policy stakeholders – Dr Georgiana Gordon Stracha

Until recently, most nations have largely siloed their health policy and climate policy deliberations. Yet, climate policy can be used to enhance health, health policy can be used to protect the climate, and both can be used to advance health equity. This project is part of a multinational study aimed at identifying actionable insights about integrating health and climate communication, advocacy, and policymaking. We view the integration of health and climate deliberations as a high-leverage opportunity for strengthening national and international climate policies and protecting human health in the face of accelerating climate impacts.
