Health professionals advancing climate solutions for a healthier future.
We center health equity in climate change conversations and foster health system and community resilience to a changing climate.
Climate change is already harming health and impacting healthcare delivery in North Carolina.
Climate change affects all North Carolinians, but low-wealth communities and communities of color have been put at greater risk of harm from extreme heat, poor air quality, severe hurricanes, and other climate-related disasters.
Our prescription for healthy communities starts here.
CACHE connects and empowers health professionals to lead on climate and health in North Carolina. We know that climate change affects everyone, but not everyone equally. That’s why we provide education for clinicians and students, collaborate with community groups and policymakers, and work to integrate climate-smart practices into all levels of health care. Whether you have five minutes or five hours to contribute, our network makes it easy to take action and drive meaningful change.
Climate solutions exist! Help us bring them to the NC places where we live, work, and play
Climate change is a health equity crisis.
As public health practitioners, physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals from across North Carolina, we recognize climate change as a global health crisis that is exacerbating health disparities right here in NC.
We have an obligation to protect the health of current and future generations. We have a responsibility to minimize our health systems’ contribution to climate change. And we have an opportunity to re-imagine a healthcare system that bolsters communities against the impacts of climate change.
Through education, advocacy, community engagement, and climate-smart healthcare initiatives, we are taking action to ensure robust health systems and thriving communities in a changing climate.
