Global Climate and Health Survey

The Global Climate and Health Survey aims to identify climate-related health priorities in the most climate-vulnerable regions in the world. Despite contributing the least to the climate crisis, low- and middle-income countries are disproportionally impacted and the most vulnerable to its effects.

Members of the local health communities are closest to the challenges and best placed to describe the most pressing and evolving health threats exacerbated by the climate crisis challenges as well as the critical barriers that must be overcome.

Health workers, scientists, innovators, policymakers, and humanitarian workers in low- and middle-income countries are at the frontlines of this crisis. Local insights are critical in identifying the needs and priorities to be addressed.

The results of this survey will be shared globally and publicly as a public good document, which can be used to inform funding, research, and even policy. It will also directly inform a new climate and health funding program being led by Grand Challenges Canada, Science for Africa Foundation, and the Grand Challenges Network.
