Recent work

Edge Impact partnered with The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ to strengthen the resilience of eye care clinics in Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu.

By assessing risks and embedding WHO-aligned adaptation measures, we helped clinics improve energy reliability and water supply enabling 2,500 additional interventions each year and generating close to USD $1 million in cost savings.

Beyond infrastructure upgrades, the project built local capacity, equipping health workers and decision-makers with tools to identify and prepare for future climate risks.
