Climate, Environment, and Health (CEH 1)
This Collaborative Research Action (CRA), in collaboration with Future Earth, aimed to improve understanding of the pathways between climate, environment and health to protect and promote human health and well-being in the face of climate challenges. Multilateral, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research projects were expected to investigate where significant uncertainties exist that are barriers to action; address complex climate, ecosystem and health pathways to determine processes underlying causal links; and foster the use of scientific information and climate-related decision support tools to better inform planning and enhance resilience.
The call was launched in 2019 and the projects are ongoing.
Five projects were selected:
| AWARD-APR | Addressing Extreme Weather Related Diarrheal Disease Risks in the Asia Pacific Region |
