The Centre for Climate and Health Security (CCHS) was established by UKHSA in October 2022 to improve understanding of the impact of the climate crisis on health and deliver effective interventions that will secure health from the adverse impacts of climate change. The remit of the CCHS is to:
- Increase awareness of the public health impacts of climate change
- Build the evidence base concerning the public health impacts of climate change
- Mobilise this evidence base to help UKHSA and its partners design and deliver interventions to increase resilience and secure health in the context of a changing climate
The Centre has recently launched their live digital portal on GOV.UK for the topic of ‘heat’, which is the first of its kind and includes new user journeys, features and content on GOV.UK which we'd love to get some feedback on from users.
