Columbia World Projects has engaged in a range of initiatives rooted in academic research, designed to address pressing global challenges. These projects involved global collaborations with governments, institutions, and communities to tackle essential issues such as hunger, climate resilience, mental health, maternal health, and more. While these projects are complete, their impact continues to resonate through the systems and tools developed as well as the communities they have served.
From leveraging climate knowledge to improve food security, to expanding digital mental health care during the COVID-19 pandemic, to shaping postpartum health policies, our initiatives are part of an extensive commitment to create lasting change by taking on crucial global challenges.
