Thank you so much for that question. It's such an important question. I am aware of that report.
I will share that, from a CIHR perspective, absolutely, the gender dimension of the impacts of climate change is a priority for us. I can speak about a few recent funding opportunities CIHR has held to support research by our research community in this area.
One funding opportunity was a response to the chief public health officer of Canada's report, “Mobilizing Public Health Action on Climate Change in Canada”. There was a funding opportunity put forward by several of our institutes that asked our research community to address the priorities raised in the chief public health officer's report around climate change and to integrate sex- and gender-based considerations, of course, within that research.
That's a fairly new funding opportunity. It was launched in 2022. We are carefully and eagerly following the work of these researchers to inform our evidence base around how climate change is impacting women, girls and gender-diverse people here in Canada, as well as globally.
