About Global Climate and Health Alliance

Every day, and in every country, the climate crisis is already having devastating effects on people’s health, overwhelming healthcare systems and causing governments to spend billions responding to this ever growing emergency. Despite this, action to tackle the climate crisis is stalled. The Global Climate and Health Alliance (GCHA) was founded in 2011 and unites and mobilises the health community on the climate crisis to accelerate climate action and protect and improve health for all. We are a global network of 200+ organisations spanning every continent and our member and partner organisations represent more than 46 million health workers globally. From community midwives and NGOs, to health ministers and policymakers, health voices are trusted messengers in their communities. We unite health voices to drive real climate action towards a healthier and more sustainable future for everyone, everywhere. Many of the solutions to the climate crisis are also health solutions, with major benefits for our health and wellbeing. GCHA works to ensure that these co-benefits, and the health impacts of the climate crisis, are embedded in climate action at the local, national and global level. GCHA co-chairs the WHO-Civil Society Working Group on Climate & Health and collaborates with organisations and agencies around the world on evidence-based advocacy, policy work, movement building, research and strategic communications. We have a unique opportunity to improve health for all and to tackle global inequality, if we act fast. Learn more at: climateandhealthalliance.org
