Environment and Human Health Workgroup

About the Project

The mission of the NNPHI’s Environment and Human Health Workgroup is to “serve as a trusted consortium in adapting, preparing for, and recovering from the impacts of climate change and environmental disasters.” The workgroup meets to create resources, highlights what the Public Health Institutes are doing in climate action and participates in network and partner climate events.
