Policy Briefs

BIT Global Climate Change and Health Collaboration is committed to bridging the gap between evidence and action by developing and disseminating policy briefs that inform national and sub-national decision-making. Our briefs translate complex scientific data and community-level insights into clear, actionable recommendations for policymakers, development partners, and practitioners.

Each brief is crafted to support the creation and implementation of responsive, equitable, and sustainable policies that address the intersection of climate change, public health, and global health security in Uganda and beyond.

What We Do Through Our Policy Briefs:

  • Inform Policy & Practice: Provide evidence-based insights to support decision-making on emerging health and climate challenges.

  • Promote Equity: Advocate for inclusive policies that address vulnerabilities in under-resourced communities.

  • Foster Collaboration: Encourage multisectoral engagement across government, academia, civil society, and international partners.

  • Drive Awareness: Highlight urgent issues such as climate-driven diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and health system resilience.
