Sci­ence Com­mu­ni­ca­tions for Change: Spurring action on tox­ic chemicals

Col­lab­o­ra­tive for Health and Environment

Wide­spread con­cern about tox­ic chem­i­cals and their health impacts is grow­ing, cre­at­ing a crit­i­cal oppor­tu­ni­ty to counter indus­try mis­in­for­ma­tion and strength­en pub­lic sup­port for pro­tec­tive policies.

The Col­lab­o­ra­tive for Health and Envi­ron­ment (CHE) and part­ners, will trans­late envi­ron­men­tal health sci­ence into clear, acces­si­ble and action­able com­mu­ni­ca­tions. Bring­ing togeth­er lead­ing sci­en­tists and advo­cates, the project will train researchers and health pro­fes­sion­als to become effec­tive pub­lic mes­sen­gers and con­nect them with jour­nal­ists, thought lead­ers and influencers.

By devel­op­ing com­pelling, sci­ence-based resources and coor­di­nat­ed mes­sag­ing strate­gies, the project will bridge the gap between research and deci­sion-mak­ing. The goal is to expand pub­lic under­stand­ing of chem­i­cal health risks, chal­lenge false indus­try nar­ra­tives and build broad, cross-polit­i­cal sup­port for poli­cies that bet­ter pro­tect fam­i­lies, work­ers and com­mu­ni­ties from harm­ful chem­i­cal exposures.
