Summary: Citizen science, characterised by the active participation of the general public in scientific inquiry, has not been widely adopted in Australian public health research. The nexus between climate, housing and health is an urgent field to which citizen science approaches can contribute valuable data, while also building community capability to successfully respond to the climate crisis. Adelle is investigating the role of citizen science approaches in collecting housing data and generating solutions to enhance the resilience of our housing infrastructure and thereby protect the health of occupants in the face of intensifying environmental hazards. In doing so, Adelle’s research aims to support the uptake of citizen science practices in the field of public health.
