Learn more about NIH CEAL’s Alliance for Community Engagement–Climate and Health |
|
 NIH’s Climate Change and Health Initiative funds four Alliance for Community Engagement–Climate and Health (ACE-CH) sites to develop community-driven, practical strategies addressing the impact of climate on those hardest hit by social determinants of health and health disparities. ACE-CH sites also assess community knowledge of the health effects of climate stressors and build partnerships with stakeholders.
This summer, the ACE-CH research team at the University of Southern California worked with the Public Allies of Los Angeles on a fun and engaging workshop about air pollution and participatory air monitoring. They distributed infographics about extreme heat and discussed with participants how heat interacts with pollution in the area.
