The European Climate-Health Cluster aims to address climate change-induced health risks and help preparedness and adaptation.
Linking climate change & health
As a cluster, we promote synergies between the
environmental and health (research) communities and
Jointly, we generate a better understanding of the link
between climate change and health impacts and threats
Science translation for
policy & practice
We support policymakers in understanding the underlying health, economic and social impacts of climate change. We also inform evidence-based decisions for their policies and climate action acceleration.
Data analysis, management,
protection & standardisation
We share experiences and knowledge about data
management and protection, and we engage different
disciplines in data analysis and predictive modeling.

Communication
& dissemination
We communicate and disseminate the Cluster’s work to raise awareness and transfer knowledge about climate-induced health risks.
Early warning systems
& models
We develop insights on how early warning systems can increase awareness and knowledge. This includes incentivising action to prevent risks and adapt.
Indicator development
We develop and monitor mechanisms to assess the impact of policies on health. We also make recommendations to decision-makers to mitigate risks and promote adaption.
