Climate Change Health Effects, Adaptation, and ResiLience (HEAL)
The Climate Change Health Effects, Adaptation, and ResiLience (HEAL) cluster aims to understand the compounding health effects of extreme weather events caused by climate change. Using a research-to-action approach, we plan to partner with stakeholders to develop adaptation interventions that create co-benefits for protection and prevention.
