Center for Research on Climate, Health and Equity in a Changing Environment

Founded as a partnership between Cornell University and the University of Pretoria, the Center for Research on Climate, Health and Equity in a Changing Environment (C-CHANGE) seeks to build community resilience and confront the enormous threats posed by the impacts of climate change on human health through collaborative, transdisciplinary, and community-engaged research, education, and partnerships.

Areas of Focus

We seek to better understand and address the effects of climate change on: emergency preparedness and management; infectious disease emergence, spread, and transmission; and food systems.

Food Systems

The work of C-CHANGE is complemented by the Cornell University Health Impacts Core, which seeks to advance community health and well-being through professional public health practice and capacity strengthening.
