Climate Health Society

What Climate Health Society does

Climate Health Society is an independent, nonprofit global professional society incorporated and headquartered in Delray Beach, Florida, and formally launched on October 1, 2025. Its stated mandate is to unite medical professionals, climate and environmental scientists, sustainability experts, researchers, and adjacent interdisciplinary practitioners (urban planners, architects, engineers, first responders, GIS specialists) to address health risks driven by climate change, harmful environmental exposures, and ecological degradation. It positions itself as the first explicitly interdisciplinary professional home for the climate-health field, with a democratic governance structure in which members vote on priorities and serve through committees covering Education, Program, Engagement, Membership, Bylaws, International Relations and Policy, and Sustain Our Abilities.

The society's core product is a tiered membership program ($100 annual, $2,500 lifetime), with free access for students, trainees, residents of Low and Middle Income Countries, and Sustain Our Abilities members. Paid membership unlocks a member-only site, online forum and member database, newsletter, committee participation with voting rights, discounts on publication fees in The Journal of Climate Change and Health, and access to ongoing virtual events delivered via Zoom and an embedded YouTube Learning Center. The technology stack is straightforward and off-the-shelf (Wix-hosted website, Stripe and Wix Payments for transactions, Zoom Events, Facebook/Google sign-in, YouTube embeds), rather than a proprietary platform. Distribution is self-serve through the website and a broad social footprint (Facebook, Instagram, X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, LinkTree).

Revenue mechanics combine recurring membership fees with donations (one-time and recurring weekly/monthly/yearly). B2B or anchor-customer revenue, sponsorship deals, and institutional funding are not disclosed. The organization plans to expand programming with its first Climate Health 2026 Global Conference in fall 2026, signaling the next leg of monetization beyond membership and donations.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Others

• The Lancet Planetary Health: Peer-reviewed journal in the same interdisciplinary climate-health space; CHS offers members discounted publication fees in a related journal (Journal of Climate Change and Health). Comparable authoritative content vehicle but a media property rather than a membership society.

Direct peers

• Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education (GCCHE): Columbia University–hosted consortium of health professions schools teaching climate and health; CHS President Dr. Ying Zhang founded its Western Pacific Network and CHS Secretary Dr. James Sullivan is a former fellow. Highly comparable mission and audience.
• Planetary Health Alliance: Global consortium advancing planetary health with members across academia, civil society, and health systems; CHS founding board member Dr. Iris Blom serves on its steering committee. Direct overlap on interdisciplinary climate-health collaboration.
• Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change: International research collaboration tracking climate-health indicators; CHS President Dr. Ying Zhang co-chairs its Australia/regional arm. Comparable authority and policy-influencing footprint in the climate-health field.
• Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health: U.S. coalition of medical societies working on climate and health; CHS board member Dr. Marc Futernick represents ACEP on its steering committee. Overlaps almost entirely on mission and target member base (healthcare professionals addressing climate).

Broad incumbents

• American Public Health Association (APHA) – Center for Climate, Health, and Equity: APHA's climate-health center engages public-health professionals on climate policy; CHS board member Dr. Elizabeth Cerceo chairs related APHA committees. Larger, more resourced, and broader in scope, but directly competes for the same U.S. public-health climate audience.
• Climate for Health (ecoAmerica): ecoAmerica program mobilizing health professionals as climate communicators and advocates. Comparable target audience (health professionals) but operates as a communications/advocacy initiative rather than a membership society.
• Health Care Without Harm: Established international NGO mobilizing the healthcare sector on climate and environmental health. Larger, more institutionalized, and broader in scope than CHS, but pursues substantially overlapping membership and advocacy goals.
• World Federation of Public Health Associations: Global federation of national public health associations. Overlaps with CHS on global public-health professional engagement and climate-health advocacy, but represents organizations rather than individual interdisciplinary members.

Emerging players

• International Society for Environmental Epidemiology (ISEE): Scientific society for environmental epidemiology researchers; CHS President Dr. Ying Zhang is a Fellow. Comparable on the research/evidence side but narrower (epidemiology only) and less advocacy-oriented than CHS.
