The challenges of climate to health
Climate change poses unprecedented challenges to public health worldwide. Increasing temperatures, extreme weather events, and changing environmental conditions directly affect human health, exacerbating risks such as heat-related illnesses and air pollution-related diseases. Beyond physical health impacts, climate change also influences mental health, social equity, and community resilience. Together, we aim to foster a collaborative dialogue among researchers, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and community leaders. By sharing knowledge, exploring effective solutions, and advocating for sustainable practices, we strive to protect and enhance public health in the face of climate change challenges.
Why is it interesting to participate
Update over Planetary Health als een Strategisch Impact programme
In 2023, we started exploring how we, as the University of Twente, together with our partners, can contribute to addressing the effects of climate on health and reducing health-related waste and emissions. Despite the changing financial situation, we would like to explain how we will continue our activities. We are ready to explore opportunities and work together effectively!
