This new center will work with communities to explore preferred actions that can be taken to fight climate change, from local neighborhoods to the national level.\u00a0The research team will model potential reductions in air pollution following these climate actions, ultimately estimating the health improvements that may result.\u00a0Dr. Kalkbrenner will specifically study how these changes could affect asthma\u00a0burden\u00a0 in children in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, the Health-First Climate Action Research Center will help to guide societal-level choices that optimize curbing climate change while best supporting the public’s health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
