Our work in climate resiliency is centered on the Building Resilience Against Climate Effects (BRACE) framework. It is designed to support public health actions to protect and promote human health amid changing environmental factors.

We are actively working to build internal and external capacity, and raise awareness about the health impacts of climate to develop policy solutions.

Through collaboration with community partners and public health programs, we aim to create sustainable strategies to build community capacity and protect residents from the adverse effects of a changing climate.

More information on our climate-focused data initiatives will be available soon.
