We are a network of 200+ health and development organisations spanning every continent and 125+ countries. Become a GCHA member today and join us in our mission to protect health whilst restoring the planet.
The Global Climate and Health Alliance (GCHA) unites and mobilises the health community worldwide and accelerates climate action to protect and improve health for all. Our members are health and development-focused organisations from around the world united by a shared vision of an equitable, healthier and sustainable future for everyone, everywhere.
GCHA works to elevate the joint voices and influence of its member organisations, supported by a core secretariat team, to drive action on climate and health.
We recognize that our members are busy and participation is capacity-dependent.

Who can apply to become a member organisation?
Whilst the majority of our members are not-for-profit health, healthcare and development organisations and health professional organisations, any organisation that works on health, development or climate change issues is welcome to apply for membership.
Non-contentious membership applications will be decided by the GCHA secretariat team. If the secretariat team believes that an application requires the board’s approval (e.g. an organisation whose work is not directly related to health or development, or a for-profit company), this will be discussed at the next quarterly board meeting before a decision is made.

Why become a member organisation?
Together we are stronger and GCHA membership allows your organisation to be part of a global network of motivated organisations working hard to protect our health and our planet. Member organisations can proudly use the GCHA logo across their channels and in published materials that are in line with GCHA principles, and are able to access and work with our huge network of members and partners worldwide. We also offer several opportunities and activities to promote the work of your organisation across our channels.
What is required of GCHA member organisations?
We recognize that our members are busy and participation is capacity-dependent. Upon becoming a member, organisations are required to:
- Nominate a liaison to serve as point person for communications with the GCHA secretariat.
- Send their organisation’s logo by email for inclusion on the GCHA website’s list of members and on published materials which list members.
Members are then able to (if they choose):
- Use the GCHA logo on their website to highlight their membership and on published materials that are in line with GCHA’s principles.
- Participate in GCHA member huddles, events, meetings and activities.
- Publicise their organisation’s climate and health related news via GCHA’s channels.
- Contribute to the GCHA blog.
- Propose ideas to the secretariat such as for events, campaigns or new resources.
- Share Alliance resources with their members and join activities organised by the Alliance.
- Work with other GCHA members and the GCHA secretariat on climate and health related activities and events.
