Bringing together leaders in climate change and health research

The ACRoBEAR project aims to understand and predict health risks from wildfire air pollution and natural-focal disease at high latitudes, under rapid Arctic climate change, as well as resilience and adaptability of communities across the pan-Arctic region to these risks.

A multinational consortium created to perform comparative analyses of diarrheal disease risk associated with extreme weather events in order to develop a transferable solution — S2S early warnings for diarrheal disease — to reduce extreme weather-related diarrheal disease burdens and improve community resilience to climate change.

This project examines how community collective action in Toco, Trinidad and Tobago and Sitka, Alaska is used to respond to the health impacts of climate change focusing on heat, infectious disease, and food.

CHAMNHA will generate knowledge on the burden of disease from heat stress during pregnancy, postpartum and for newborns, on effective, acceptable and feasible heat interventions, and facilitate adaptation planning to improve preparedness and reduce the impacts of extreme heat in sub-Saharan Africa.
