Global Partnerships

The Centre for Environmental Research and Justice (CERJ) recognises that resolving pollution cannot be achieved in silo. Our membership in global partnerships, consortia and alliances helps to translate our world-leading research into impactful action.

  • Foggy landscape with pollution

    Global Alliance on Health and Pollution (GAHP)

    CERJ is a member of the Global Alliance on Health and Pollution (GAHP), a collaborative body of over 70 members and dozens of observers that works through our network of international and national level agencies to apply a multi-sectoral approach to addressing the global pollution crisis and its resulting health and economic impacts.

    GAHP works across the globe, assisting low- and middle-income countries in prioritizing health outcomes by addressing pollution through its Health and Pollution Action Plans (HPAPs), solutions planning, and resource mobilization. GAHP equally focuses on building public, technical, and financial support to increase awareness of pollution, promote scientific research, and track progress around it.

    Environment Care Consortium (ECC)

    CERJ is a leading organisation in the Environment Care Consortium (ECC), a collaborative team of over 100 science, legal and public health experts & students that confront the global health and justice problems caused by pollution. The consortium uses 'action research' combining precision toxicology and environmental governance to reduce the burden of pollution, based on vastly improved opportunities for effective recourse.

Working to resolve environmental injustice

The ECC works to tackle environmental injustice, which is the inequitable exposure of poor, minority, and disenfranchised populations to toxic chemicals, contaminated air, food & water, unsafe workplaces and other forms of pollution, and the consequent disproportionate burden among these populations of pollution-­related disease. In the below video, Professor John Colbourne, Director of CERJ, discusses how we can combat environmental injustice.

    Solve Pollution Network

    CERJ is a member of the Solve Pollution Network (SPN), which works to end harm to human health from pollution by bringing together local leaders and global experts across all relevant areas and sectors.

    Through national projects designed and led by local citizens and representatives, the Solve Pollution Initiative implements comprehensive Health and Pollution Action Plans based on country-specific needs and priorities.

Overcoming Madagascar’s number one killer: Pollution

In Madagascar, where pollution causes nearly one third of premature deaths, CERJ and the Solve Pollution Network are working to implement the country’s health pollution action plan (HPAP) to restore the environment and save lives. This proposal results from the partnership of Indiana University, University Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡ UK, Pure Earth, Environment Care Consortium & Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory, Global Alliance for Health & Pollution, Global LPG Partnership, PIVOT Madagascar, Education Development Center, SEED Madagascar, and Université de Fianarantsoa Madagascar.
