Potential synergies between climate change and health projects funded by the Belmont Forum and Horizon 2020
In an analysis of 15 climate change and health projects we identify areas for potential synergies between the projects. We find that the ENBEL project can add particular value in terms of synthesis of research findings, dissemination and knowledge mobilisation.
Global warming already responsible for one in three heat-related deaths
Climate change is already happening and we already see the negative health effects. One third of heat-related deaths can be attributed to climate change, according to a new study led by scientists that are EXHAUSTION partners.
Protecting pregnant women and babies from extreme temperatures
What interventions may help to reduce the impact of heat stress on pregnant women, women who have given birth and their new-born babies? The CHAMNHA project engaged in co-design workshops with stakeholders in Kenya and Burkina Faso to co-create locally appropriate and feasible interventions.
Bringing together research projects on heat and health
The ENBEL project brings together 11 research projects focusing on heat-related health issues, opening up for range of joint activities in this critical area of research.
The 5th European Climate Change Adaptation Conference (ECCA 2021): Climate change and health: promoting wellbeing through climate action webinar
The webinar presented state-of-the-art knowledge on the health effects of global warming, with a particular focus on increasing temperature and heat stress in a European context, and discussed how alternative climate policy options and measures can help safeguard the health and wellbeing of citizens. The webinar was organised on 26 May 2021 under the lead of ENBEL coordinator Kristin Aunan from CICERO.
Effects of climate change on maternal and newborn health in Africa
Air pollution and climate change both have an immediate adverse effect on reproductive, maternal and perinatal health outcomes, with the devastating potential to affect the health of future generations to come, writes researchers from the CHAMNHA project.
