About
ECHO is a global center for climate and health research and communications whose main goal is to tell stories about solutions to the two converging crises of our time: climate change and public health.
​
Our team members are leaders in communicating to the public through press and other media the discoveries that will help us protect a world in crisis. We do ground-breaking research, connect scientists to reporters, and help tell vital stories to the public, making climate and health solutions available to everyone.
Events & Projects
ECHO organizes media events, global summits and speaker series where researchers present their latest discoveries. We gather the best scientists and journalists from around the world and bring them to the public.
​
ECHO also provides fellowships to train scientists to speak to media, and to help journalists find the right expert for their stories. To that end, we provide a curated directory of media-trained experts and their contact information, so that journalists can easily get in touch and meet their deadlines.
