[BC-Wide] Climate Health Action Program

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​FNHA’s Climate Health Action Program (CHAP) supports First Nations leadership in reducing climate change impacts on health. 

Climate change affects physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health in many ways. Through CHAP, communities can strengthen their climate health resilience by working together to improve the environmental, social, cultural and economic factors that affect their health and wellness. 

CHAP funds climate action projects that are community driven and focus on health and wellness outcomes. 

Projects can focus on climate health in general or on developing a strategy or action plan to reduce climate change impacts on community health. 

Some examples of focus areas are:

• food security and food sovereignty
• access to the land
• mental health
• traditional medicine
• traditional harvesting
• water quality and quantity​
• extreme heat response

CHAP is now accepting expressions of interest (EOIs) for projects starting spring 2026 onward! EOIs (template provided via the email below) will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the available funding has been allocated. Successful EOIs will be invited to develop full proposals.

Please contact us at climate.health@fnha.ca to request a copy of the EOI template.                  

Please note:

• Given limited funding available, EOIs will be reviewed with preference given to communities that have not previously received CHAP funding.
• If you have previously received CHAP funding and would like to discuss alternative ways the FNHA can support your climate action priorities, please reach out to our team.
