Background

Our research group aims to advance the field of Planetary Child Health by exploring child-specific climate change policy development, clinical environmental health research, and participatory methods to address the health and well-being of children within the context of a changing climate. We are committed to a child-centered and responsive approach that amplifies children's voices and prioritizes their unique needs in shaping sustainable and equitable health interventions and adaptation measures. By bridging global child health, planetary systems, and inclusive research practices, we aim to empower communities and children, as well as inform policies that address children and child health globally.
