The Centre is a five-year £10M initiative funded by UKRI conducting research on climate change and its impacts on health.
Net-positive solutions aim to reduce the negative health impacts of climate mitigation and adaptation, whilst also contributing to positive outcomes – such as ecosystem recovery and improved human wellbeing - whilst ensuring new measures don’t worsen existing inequalities among those communities most impacted by climate change.
Individual projects are focusing on the design of urban environments, green and blue spaces, and food systems, as well as analysing associations between mental health and climate, and specific mechanisms linking thunderstorms and asthma.
