About Us
Change starts with science
Environmental Health Sciences is a nonpartisan, nonprofit news and science organization that aims to drive good science into public policy and public discussion on our environment and health, including climate change.
We’ve been at this since 2002.
Our core strategy:
- Alert the public to critical threats.
- Advance news cycles on core topics.
- Solve entrenched problems with interdisciplinary collaborations.
We have a network of hundreds of scientists across the globe at universities, research institutions and government agencies. Our two websites, EHN.org and DailyClimate.org, serve up 3 million pageviews per year and have 120,000 followers on social media. We deliver a mix of daily and weekly newsletters to 32,000 subscribers.
We have won national and international awards for our work. And we are passionate about driving science into public discussion and policy on environmental health, justice and climate issues.
