Summary: We conduct and fund rigorous research to build the undeniable case for action, focusing on populations most at risk.

Key Initiatives:

• Systematic reviews on climate shocks and neurological outcomes.
• Epidemiological studies using health system data.
• Community-based participatory research to capture lived experience.
• Partnerships with leading Canadian and global research institutions.

Featured Projects

The Hamilton Risk-Mapping Project

In partnership with the City of Hamilton Public Health, we are co-developing a framework to map air pollution data against neurological health outcomes to visualize community-level risk.

Clinical Data Analysis

We are analyzing health system data to correlate climate events with rates of stroke, migraine, and other neurological emergencies.

Scoping Review

We are conducting a comprehensive review of the impacts of climate shocks (wildfires, heat, pollution) on neurological and mental health, with a specific focus on vulnerable populations. Currently underway with the University of Calgary.

Our Publication Pipeline

We believe research should be accessible. We use a knowledge translation pipeline that turns complex science into action.

Academic Publications → Policy Briefs → Public Awareness

The Conversation → CMAJ: Our public articles in The Conversation form the basis for deeper commentary in medical journals like the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

Get Involved in Research

We are building a consortium of researchers and clinicians across Canada. Join us to:

• Contribute to ongoing systematic reviews and studies.
• Co-author publications and policy briefs.
• Share data and collaborate on grant applications.
