The Global Climate and Health Survey seeks to pinpoint the health priorities related to climate change in the world’s most vulnerable regions. Although low- and middle-income countries contribute the least to the climate crisis, they are disproportionately affected by its impacts and are among the most at-risk.

Local health communities are closest to the challenges and are best positioned to identify the most urgent and evolving health threats that are worsened by the climate crisis. They can also highlight the key barriers that need to be addressed.

Health workers, scientists, innovators, policymakers, and humanitarian workers in low- and middle-income countries are on the frontlines of this crisis. Local insights are essential to identifying the needs and priorities that must be tackled.

The findings from this survey will be shared publicly and globally as a public resource. It will guide funding, research, and policy decisions and will directly contribute to a new climate and health funding initiative led by Grand Challenges Canada, the Science for Africa Foundation, and the Grand Challenges Network.

Complete the survey

Engaging the health community
Health workers, researchers, innovators, and policymakers offer a unique perspective on current health challenges.

Amplifying local voices
This survey aims to gather insights from those closest to the challenges to identify climate-related health priorities.

Informing the future
The results will shape future funding efforts to address climate-related health challenges and will inform future research and policies.

The climate crisis is one of the most significant global health threats today, and global collaboration is vital to overcoming the challenges ahead. Join us in spreading the survey as part of this crucial global initiative!

About the Global Climate and Health Survey Partners:
Grand Challenges Canada is committed to supporting Bold Ideas with Big Impact®. In partnership with the Government of Canada, the Science for Africa Foundation, and the Global Grand Challenges Network, Grand Challenges Canada funds innovators in low- and middle-income countries to tackle critical barriers through the grand challenge model. A grand challenge in health refers to a major obstacle that, if overcome, could help solve a significant global health issue. The Geneva Learning Foundation (TGLF) leads a peer learning platform (Teach to Reach) and a global network of health workers from over 90 countries. TGLF developed the global climate and health survey.
