Climate Impacts Awards 2026: Funding Research That Makes Climate-Health Risks Visible

The Climate Impacts Awards 2026 invites transdisciplinary research teams to investigate how climate change affects physical and mental health and translate findings into policy action. Teams can receive up to £2.5 million over three years to address evidence gaps on climate-related health impacts including heat-related illnesses, vector-borne diseases, and mental health effects, with an expanded focus on economic analysis. The scheme prioritizes research that is policy-relevant, community-engaged, and positioned to influence decision-making at local, national, or global levels within the three-year funding window.
