Despite increasing evidence of the health risks associated with climate change, the NIH plans to cease funding for new research on this critical issue. Internal directives indicate that future academic programs addressing climate impacts on health will not be supported. This decision follows recent funding cuts to existing programs, including a notable initiative focused on understanding the health impacts of climate change-related phenomena like wildfires and infectious diseases. Public health advocates express concern that these funding cuts will undermine the ability to protect Americans from climate-related health threats.
This is a direct attack on our health, on the science that keeps us protected.
Kids born in 2024 can expect poorer air quality, hotter days, and lifelong social and community disruptions from climate change.
