ANTHC’s Center for Climate and Health (CCH) assists communities and helps them to better understand the impacts of climate change and how to adapt in healthy ways. We provide technical support and guidance to identify, plan, and respond to climate-driven community health impacts. We do this through developing climate and health assessments, providing technical assistance, and offering education to the public through trainings.

One Health Group

The Center for Climate and Health hosts the One Health Group, which is an interagency forum focused on improving communication and coordination about emerging environmental, wildlife and public health threats. The One Health Group was formed in 2013 in partnership with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Arctic Investigations Program.The group includes professionals from Canada, Alaska, and other parts of the United States. It is open to professionals in wildlife, environmental management, and public health fields, among others. The One Health Group meets quarterly to share information on activities, discuss emerging One Health issues, consider events that are indicative of environmental and climate change and to provide a forum for identifying areas of common interest and collaboration.

The Center for Climate and Health also administers the Local Environmental Observer (LEO Network). The LEO Network is a network of local environmental observers and topic experts who apply traditional knowledge, western science and technology to document significant, unusual or unprecedented environmental events in our communities. The purpose of the LEO Network is to increase understanding about environmental change so communities can adapt in healthy ways.
