Environment Care Consortium

Environment Care envisions a future where nobody suffers sickness at the hands of pollution. We are a collaborative team of over 100 science, legal and public health experts and students that confront the global health and justice problems caused by pollution. Our solution is 'action research' that uses precision toxicology and environmental governance to reduce the burden of pollution, based on vastly improved opportunities for effective recourse. Our Action Research gathers information within communities in need so that we can combat specific environmental health problems. As actions are applied, the dimensions of the problem are revealed, helping to untangle its complexity. The outcomes are effective interventions that protect people’s lives and their livelihoods. We have participating institutions in 12 countries, ranging from universities and government agencies to NGOs. Our activities are wholly dependent on consolidating people’s expertise and existing resources to achieve community­level outcomes. By expecting take-­up of our solutions across spheres of influence, and with the support from our donors, impact in the form of environmental justice, reduced inequalities, and improved health can be achieved on national and global scales.
