Steve Grzanich has the business news of the day with the Wintrust Business Minute.

A new research center operated by the University of Illinois Chicago will study the public health impact of climate change and ways to intervene that are nature-based. The UIC Center for Climate Change & Health Equity is backed by funding from the federal government. The center will receive $4 million over three years from the National Institutes of Health. The NIH’s Climate Change & Health Initiative is funding 21 centers nationwide including the one in Chicago. A team of experts in public health, medicine, engineering, urban planning and biological sciences will consider interventions like green infrastructure to minimize the consequences of climate change.
