About this grant
Wellcome's Climate and Health priority programme puts health at the heart of climate action by generating research to shape policies and identify practical solutions that protect people's health from climate change. The programme addresses the escalating health crisis caused by climate change, which disproportionately affects vulnerable communities. It supports comprehensive, transdisciplinary research to understand the wider impacts of the climate crisis and how these are distributed across society, with a focus on translating findings into effective action. The programme funds research that fills gaps in understanding how climate change affects health and how to develop practical and affordable solutions in places where they are most needed, including research into health impacts of both mitigation and adaptation interventions and policies. Additionally, the programme advocates for health-centred climate action by working with international institutions, NGOs, charities, governments and affected communities to ensure research is relevant for policy action at both local and global scale.
