Independent Research Steering Group
SALURBAL-Climate's Independent Research Steering Group (RSG) was established to provide strategic guidance and expert advice to the SALURBAL-Climate Project. The RSG plays a crucial role in ensuring the project's research initiatives and strategic directions align with its overall goals of generating rigorous scientific evidence in support of effective policy and community actions to reduce the health and equity impacts of climate change across Latin America. The RSG is appointed for the duration of the project, and meets annually to provide expert advice and input on research priorities, key outputs, and strategic directions.
