Our Work
Extreme heat takes a toll on health. Healthy Air and Water Colorado is a member of CHI's Acclimate Action Team that is championing right-to-cool policy options in Denver.
Colorado’s climate has gotten hotter, and it will heat up more due to human-caused global warming.
A Call to Action to Protect Our Communities from Climate Change
Colorado communities need a new focus on adapting to a changing climate to advance health equity.
The 2022 Climate and Health Index provides helps communities access their risk.
There is no denying the fact that Colorado, like the rest of the world, is heating up.
CHI is driving policy changes that will help Colorado communities become more resilient to climate change and improve health equity for those most profoundly affected.
The world has changed rapidly in the past few years, and the Colorado Health Institute is changing our approach so we can more directly address the critical issues that will advance health equity in Colorado. For 20 years, CHI has worked to advance its mission of improving health for all people in our state. Today, we are zeroing in on three challenges we must address to continue fulfilling that mission — climate change, behavioral health, and integrating our systems of care.
