Climate, Environment, and Health II (CEH II 2023)

This Collaborative Research Action focused on the nexus of Climate, Environment, and Health to address an unmet need to promote, mobilize, and establish an inclusive, transdisciplinary funding scheme, through the preservation and celebration of diverse communities, research topics, ecosystems, and creative transformative solutions.    One ambitious goal for this CRA was to hopefully create a comprehensive culture shift through education, research, service, and advocacy to inspire a world where all animals and humans can thrive — through the integration of human medicine, veterinary medicine, and environmental science — and by adapting and protecting Earth’s natural systems for generations to come.   Applicants were invited to submit research proposals that address at least one of the three call themes:  
  • Decision-science of environmental behavior and implementation.
  • Food, Environment, and Biological Security.
  • Climate Risks to Ecosystems & Populations.
  This CRA was launched in 2022 and is ongoing with support from:

ANII, AllEnvi, ANR, FAPESP, FE, IAI, MRI, NRF, NSTC, PAHO, RCN, SNSF, TUBITAK, UKRI NERC-NIHR, USAID, US DOI, US NIH – NICHD, US NOAA, US NSF, US DOS, and WMO
