Building healthier environments through collaboration and community action.
HEC supports holistic, multi-generational solutions that strengthen communities’ ability to access and benefit from safe, healthy natural environments.
Our Approach
Environmental health is a complex effort that extends beyond basic measures of carbon emissions or renewable energy. The Health Equity Council’s contributions focus on holistic, multi-generational solutions that center human and non-human life.
At the most basic level, this includes resource allocation, technical assistance, and educational opportunities that support safe outdoor spaces and urban agriculture.
In practice, remediating our shared environment requires an all-encompassing collaboration of efforts that acknowledges climate realities and societal capacities. Through coalitions, collaboration, and network stewardship, HEC facilitates cross-cutting, sustainable solutions that improve communities’ ability to access the natural environment.
