NEW RELEASE: ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025
This past year marked a transition for the Redstone Global Center, with the release of a new mission, vision, and strategic goals for 2025–2027. Our renewed focus centers on climate change and prevention-wellness research, emphasizing equitable adaptation. Through research, education, and cross-sector collaboration, we aim to engage and empower communities most at risk from climate-related health hazards.
“Hope is not a passive state, and it is more than plain optimism. Hope is action-oriented, and we must acknowledge the tough realities we face around climate, health, and adaptation while we work to chart a healthy future. I invite you to explore these report pages and consider how you might join us in this endeavor.”
Dr. Timothy Holtz, Chair & Director, Redstone Global Center
