Consortium for Climate Change,
Health & Medicine

About the Consortium

Together, the Consortium represents a strategic health-centred collaboration between two NUS institutions – the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health and the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine.

This partnership draws together diverse and complementary expertise in epidemiology, public health, data science, environmental management, and biomedicine to advance evidence-based solutions that mitigate the effects of climate change and improve the health, well-being, and performance of individuals, communities, and healthcare systems.



The consortium is composed of the following

three organizations:

The Heat Resilience and Performance Centre (HRPC) creates holistic and forward-looking solutions through multi-disciplinary thermal research to address the challenges associated with living and working in rising ambient heat.

The Climate, Environment and Health (CEH) Programme studies the impacts of climate and environmental change on health in Southeast Asia​​, with research and outreach activities spanning issues like infectious diseases, air pollution, the built environment, nutrition, and food systems.

The Centre for Sustainable Medicine (CoSM) focuses on transforming clinical practice and health system operations to reduce healthcare's carbon footprint​​ and strengthen the climate-resilience of health systems globally.
