The ENBEL2023 scientific Conference on Connecting Health & Climate Change took place in Stockholm 11-12 October 2023 and brought together in total more than 300 participants (onsite and online) from across 35 countries. Watch the recording of the sessions here.

The latest film from the ENBEL project highlights the impact that the project has had in connecting climate and health research with policymaking.

Watch the recording of our online workshop addressing health concerns of urban greenness in perspective of climate change covering the latest research findings and mitigation strategies.

The ENBEL project has developed a series of six short educational videos on climate change and health topics to give more information on how climate change effects our health and what we can do about it.

On 26 January, the University of Tartu, Karolinska Institutet, the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research and CICERO Center for International Climate Research organise an online workshop addressing health concerns of urban greenness in perspective of climate change. We will discover the latest research findings and mitigation strategies to address health challenges from those disasters.

The conference Connecting Health & Climate Change #ENBEL2023 took place in Stockholm 11-12 October. Thanks to everyone who attended and made the conference such a success.

Climate change is the biggest health threat of the 21st century and its effects increasingly occur in Europe, too. Researchers, policy-makers and practitioners were gathered in Brussels 19 September to share evidence of health impacts of climate change and discuss the way forward for the European adaptation agenda.

Join us for a film screening and discussion of the film “Too Hot to Work”.

Join us at the 2nd CHANCE conference to take place in Botswana 25-26 August.

On 14 June ENBEL project partnered with the Ministry of Health in Kenya to train public health workers to measure and reduce carbon emissions in healthcare facilities.

The film “Too Hot To Work” takes viewers around the world on a tour of the current state of labor in extreme heat.

Finance for adaptation is not sufficiently targeting the countries most vulnerable to the climate crisis and falling short of needs in the health sector, indicates research from Climate Centre funded through the ENBEL project.

ENBEL releases a new film that showcases the effect of climate change on the occupational safety and health of manual laborers in Europe based on the work in the HEAT-SHIELD project.

How can co-design in climate change and health research be most successful? This policy brief provides key messages for research funders and future research projects in this field based on lessons learned from Climate, Environment and Health research projects funded by the Belmont Forum.

In order for health risks to be better integrated into adaptation policy and planning, it is critical to interconnect national and urban levels, reduce sectoral thinking and welcome external expertize and facilitate large-scale data collection and sharing of health and climate indicators, argues Annechien D. Hoeben et. al in a paper in Climate Policy.

ENBEL was present and organized two side-events at the WHO health pavilion at COP27 highlighting the climate change impacts on woman’s health and how to advance climate change and health agenda, policy and financing in Africa.

In the run-up to COP27 ENBEL joined forces with the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent and shared and amazing set of over 30 pieces of art, accompanied by personal stories on climate change.

While air pollution from PM2.5-emissions have been reduced in Europe and North America, air pollution from wildfires is increasing. With climate change, we will see more wildfires, risking that the impacts of the efforts that have been made to mitigate air pollution and related negative health effects could be diminished.

A set of concrete recommendations to advance the climate and health agenda and to address climate-related health risks were identified by the participants in a climate and health workshop in Uganda co-organised by ENBEL-partner Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre and the Ugandan Ministry of Health.
