The LAC Hub for Climate Change and Health (CLIMAS) is a project led by the Public Health Institute (ISP) at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (PUJ) in Colombia, in coordination with the Public Health Institute at Pontificia Universidad CatĆ³lica del Ecuador (ISP PUCE), and supported by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) of Canada. CLIMAS aims to lead innovative research, foster policy development, and encourage community engagement to address the complex intersections between climate change and public health.
CLIMAS operates under the following thematic axes:
1. Public Policies on Climate Change and Health
Developing and promoting policies with an intersectional approach.
2. Training Health Workforces
Preparing health professionals to respond effectively to climate-induced health emergencies and disease outbreaks.
3. Data Accessibility and Modeling
Enhancing access to detailed climate and health data to inform evidence-based decision-making.
2025 Calls for Proposals
CLIMASĀ will provide technical and financial support to projects that promote innovative ideas and concrete solutions to address the health challenges posed by climate change. These research-oriented projects must not only generate new knowledge but also translate it into actions, tools, capacities, and/or policies that benefit institutions, decision-makers, and communities across Latin America and the Caribbeanāparticularly those most vulnerable, including women, migrants, Indigenous peoples, Afro-descendant populations, rural communities, and groups living in poverty, among others.
The call will be open to consortia made up of community-based organizations, research centers, academic institutions/universities, and public or private sector organizations working in the fields of Climate Change and/or Health in Latin America and the Caribbean.
