“Climate change isn’t just an environmental emergency... it’s also a health emergency.”
-- 2022 Tyler Prize Laureate, Sir Andy Haines

In 2022, the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement – often regarded as the ‘Nobel Prize for the Environment’ – was awarded to British physician, Sir Andy Haines. Haines was one of the first scientists to sound the alarm that changes to the natural environment have dangerous implications for human health.
