Climate Change and Health
Invitation to Join the Climate Change and Public Health Research and Evidence Network – Wales
Public Health Wales is coordinating the development of a Climate Change and Public Health Research and Evidence Network in Wales. This network will bring together stakeholders from Welsh Government, NHS Wales, academia, the third sector, and others, including experts by experience. While the network will be shaped by its members, our aims are to strengthen research for public health, identify evidence gaps, and support collaboration across sectors.
Please complete the sign up here if you are interested in joining the network.
If you have any questions or comments about this new initiative, we’d love to hear from you. Please email, us at phw.research@wales.nhs.uk
