Taking place in Canada, the programme allocates nearly 85 per cent of its funding to community-driven research, in order to foster, support, and mobilize community-led climate change and health adaptation research among First Nation and Inuit communities. The CCHAP is a leader both nationally and internationally in supporting the link between indigenous traditional knowledge frameworks and academic sciences in order to find the most appropriate tools to reduce health risks from climate change to First Nation and Inuit communities.
Key principles – Priority actions should be considered for the community groups whose health will be disproportionately affected by climate hazards due to socioeconomic factors.
