We're taking ACTION to improve public health through research and science. Dr. Amruta Nori-Sarma breaks down what decades of public health research on policies like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act actually show: The upfront costs of reducing air pollution are far outweighed by the health and economic benefits we all gain. Watch the full clip to see why investing in clean air is one of the smartest decisions we can make for our public health and our economy. #NPHW @HarvardCCHANGE

We're taking ACTION to improve public health through research and science. Dr. Mary Rice, director of Harvard Chan C-CHANGE, takes action by advancing science to protect older patients with COPD by analyzing whether in-home air purifiers improve symptoms and quality of life. #NPHW

Mary Rice hears from her asthma and COPD patients about what triggers their symptoms: extreme heat, air pollution, longer pollen seasons—all worsened by climate change. As a pulmonary physician, there’s only so much she can prescribe.

As director of @harvardcchange, Rice and her colleagues test solutions beyond the clinic—partnering with individuals, hospital systems, cities, and policymakers to reduce pollution, prevent disease, and help people live healthier lives.

We had a blast learning from our friends at @familyvanboston at our latest @HarvardCCHANGE community gathering.

Harvard Chan C-CHANGE is on the ground at #COP30 centering health in climate conversations!

Yesterday, our director Dr. Mary B. Rice joined panels with @unclimatechange and @americaisallin to highlight that health benefits are not just “co-benefits” of climate action, but primary reasons to accelerate the clean energy transition.

Climate change is already affecting children’s health and development—yet this reality is largely absent from public conversation, leaving a critical gap in understanding and action.

Research by the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University, the FrameWorks Institute, and the Center for Climate, Health, and the Global Environment at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health—in partnership with a multidisciplinary advisory board—explores why this gap exists. A new report offers strategies to enhance public understanding of this topic in order to build support for efforts that protect children’s health and development in a changing climate.

🔗 Head to the link in bio to read the new report to learn how to build public understanding and communicate more effectively about how climate change impacts young children’s development.

In part two of our Q&A with @harvardcchange director Mary Rice, she answers your questions on the impact of weakening EPA regulations on Americans’ health.

Leave any other questions for Rice in the comments, and let us know which Harvard Chan expert you would like to learn from next.

Do Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations protect Americans’ health?

Mary Rice, director of Harvard Chan School’s Center for Climate, Health, and the Global Environment (@harvardcchange), answers your questions in part one of this Q&A on the EPA’s origins and its impact on U.S. citizens’ health.

If you have more questions for Rice or other environmental health experts at Harvard Chan School, leave them in the comments or send us a DM.

Save the Date! #HarvardClimateActionWeek takes place September 15-21. Hear from Harvard faculty, climate experts, leaders, and stakeholders as they explore solutions to the most complex and challenging dimensions of the climate crisis. Visit: https://loom.ly/eI8Kkj4 for details.

Congratulations to our students who completed the inaugural year of the Climate Change and Planetary Health concentration @HarvardChanSPH!

We’re so proud of all you’ve accomplished and excited to see how you use your research, leadership, advocacy, and policy skills to implement #climate solutions that protect #health for all.
