With a $4.1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, USC researchers will characterize climate-related exposures and gaps in adaptation capacity to understand their combined impacts on human health<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n

From devastating wildfires and landslides to droughts and extreme heat waves, climate-related events disrupt the lives of communities around the world. How these events\u00a0impact the health of Los Angeles\u2019s vulnerable communities is a question numerous USC researchers are working to solve. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded $4.1 million to a USC-led initiative to build a community of transdisciplinary scientists and a robust infrastructure with the goal of advancing solution-oriented climate change adaptation and health research.<\/p>\n

\"image<\/p>\n

The center is called CLIMA, short for the CLIMAte-related Exposures, Adaptation and Health Equity Center. CLIMA brings together researchers from the Department of Population and Public Health Sciences<\/a> at the Keck School of Medicine of USC,<\/a> USC Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences<\/a>, USC Viterbi School of Engineering<\/a> and USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This NIH award is a milestone in USC President Carol Folt\u2019s Sustainability \u201cmoonshot,\u201d an ambitious university-wide commitment to innovation in the space of sustainability through research and education.<\/p>\n

\u201cCalifornia, with its diverse communities, provides an ideal opportunity to identify gaps in climate resilience and adaptation strategies to inform policies that protect the most vulnerable and strengthen climate resiliency,\u201d said center director \u00a0Rima Habre, ScD, associate professor of environmental health and spatial sciences at the Keck School of Medicine of USC<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Spatial Sciences Institute at USC Dornsife<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CLIMA researchers have been collaborating with USC Dornsife Public Exchange<\/a> and the City of Los Angeles Climate Emergency Mobilization Office (CEMO)<\/a> to build a visual mapping tool called a StoryMap<\/a>, which can add narrative context to the city and county\u2019s extreme heat challenges.<\/p>\n

By combining Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping with accessible climate storytelling, the StoryMap can inform the public about the risks associated with extreme heat, as well as provide resources for and information regarding the City of Los Angeles\u2019 #HeatRelief4LA<\/a> campaign.<\/p>\n

The center is supported by USC\u2019s Research Strategy and Development subdivision within the Office of Research and Innovation<\/a>,<\/u> whose mission is to foster scholarly excellence and bring together experts across diverse fields from USC, Southern California and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur focus is on how the most vulnerable communities of Southern California are being impacted by wildfire smoke and extreme heat, and how social, human, and system level factors like disaster preparedness, power outages, and urban vegetation, can reduce capacity to adapt to and recover from impacts of climate change,\u201d says Habre, an environmental health and exposure science expert.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal of the science we are developing in CLIMA is to provide our policymakers with the most actionable data and evidence they need to strengthen policies and support investments that increase local adaptive capacity and increase resilience in our city, with a focus on health equity,\u201d says Rob McConnell, MD<\/a>, CLIMA\u2019s deputy director and professor of population and public health sciences at Keck School of Medicine.<\/p>\n

This funding is a result of the ongoing large-scale\u00a0NIH Climate Change and Health Initiative, a cross-cutting effort to stimulate research to reduce health threats from climate change across the lifespan and build health resilience in individuals, communities, and nations around the world, especially among those at highest risk.<\/p>\n

About this research<\/strong><\/p>\n
