Prof Hilary Graham

Prof Hilary Graham is based in the Department of Health Sciences at the University of York. She has contributed to CAST research across themes, helping to ensure that research is communicated in ways that enable people, organisations and governments to take action on climate change. 

Hilary is a social scientist with a track record of policy-facing research on health inequalities and climate change. Her research also explores people’s generational ties, particularly between young people, parents and grandparents, and how harnessing these commitments to future generations is central to driving climate action.

Hilary is part of the NIHR Public Health Policy Research Unit which focuses on delivering timely, relevant and robust evidence to support public health policies.  Her projects are investigating people’s concerns about climate change and their priorities for policies to address it.
