Climate and Health Information Gateway

The NAM Grand Challenge on Climate Change, Human Health, and Equity offers the following resources to help a variety of audiences better understand the relationship between a changing climate and health outcomes. The Climate and Health Information Gateway aims to help people find information that will support health and well-being for themselves, their loved ones, and their communities. The gateway highlights free, evidence-based resources curated with the input of an expert NAM committee and suggestions from climate experts engaged in a collaborative process to build a research agenda reflecting the most urgent research gaps at the intersection of climate change, health, and equity.

This resource will be updated with additional content and enhanced capacities in early 2025.
