A feverish world: Tackling climate change and health in unison  

With much of the world recovering from catastrophic heatwaves this year, what can we learn about the links between climate change and our own health?

6.5 billion

people experienced climate-change-attributed heat in July 2023. 81% of the world's population.

Help more public servants take climate action.

We are conducting a survey to understand how climate change affects public servants' work and whether they have the knowledge, skills and training they need to take relevant action in their field.

We’ll share the findings with our global public service community in November, ahead of COP28. If you have 2 minutes today, take a moment to complete and share it.

Climate concept corner

Breaking down the jargon

Extreme events - A recent IPCC report defined extreme weather events as events that are rare at a particular place and time of year, and extreme climate events as patterns of extreme weather that persist for some time, such as a season.

Professional Development

The next big opportunity

Climate Change and Health

In partnership with Imperial College London

Early next year, Apolitical will be launching a new course in partnership with Imperial College London, examining the link between climate and health. The course will give public servants insight into the effects that climate has on human health and the inherent links between our well-being and the well-being of the planet.

Think you or your team might benefit from the course? Check out the course page and register your interest and we'll contact you as soon as it's available for purchase!
