Climate, Environment, and Health (CEH 2019)

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. This CRA was launched in 2019 and ended in 202X. It was supported by:

FAPESP, MoST, PASRES, AKA, RCN, Forte, TÜBİTAK, Met, UKRI, NIH, NOAA, NSF, and NIFA
