Center for Climate and Health glObal Research on Disasters (CORD)

The CORD consortium works to protect health and build resilience in climate-related disasters.

CORD is a partnership between the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Eduardo Mondlane University, Makerere University, National University of Lesotho, Tufts University, the University of Namibia, and the University of the Philippines.

We collect and analyze data on the health effects of climate-related disasters, illuminating how vulnerable populations are affected around the world.

Working with community members, humanitarians, and governments, we recommend feasible and culturally appropriate adaptation policies and practices to reduce the impacts of climate disasters on health.

CORD is funded by the National Institutes of Health through the NIH Climate Change and Health Initiative as one of five exploratory grants funded to establish transdisciplinary research centers focused on the complex impacts of climate change on health.
