The Belmont AWARD-APR project performs comparative analyses of diarrheal disease risk related to extreme weather events for children under five years of age in the Asia-Pacific Region.

We had the opportunity to sit down (virtually) with Kiswendsida Guigma and ask him some pressing questions that were on my mind about heatwaves in Africa. We learned about heatwave impacts and why we often don't hear about heatwaves in Africa!

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

In light of summer 2021 approaching, in which we are still in a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the recent WHO report on evidence for heat and health prevention in Europe provides useful insights on how to adjust Heat health adaptation plans (HHAPs) to ensure an effective heat response.

Different indicators change in different ways, but climate models project a clear trend of increasing heat stress, according to a new scientific publication from the EXHAUSTION project.

Climate change is according to the WHO the greatest threat to human health in the 21st century. By bringing together leaders in climate change and health research, this international project will contribute with knowledge and policy advice on climate change and health impacts.

2 December 2020 the 17 ENBEL partners and advisory board members present on four continents met for a digital kick off of the project.
