We are seeing more extreme rainfall and higher temperatures. Severe weather events are causing unprecedented damage. Climate change has and will continue to impact the health and well-being of every community, but not all communities are affected equally. Low-income and communities of color are harmed first and worst.

Since forming in the fall of 2021, the Carolinas Collaborative on Climate, Health, and Equity (C3HE) is committed to understanding our changing climate and addressing the impacts in a just and equitable way.

By integrating social science, physical science, and regional knowledge, the C3HE team and participating groups co-produce solutions that are tailored to meet unique local needs and priorities.

Focusing our efforts on underserved and at-risk populations, we strive to support communities that are disproportionately exposed to climate hazards and other compounding social inequities.
