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.

From Awareness to Action: Communicating Climate–Health Resilience in a Changing Climate
TRIGGER’s Educational Materials: Co-creating Knowledge for Impact The communication, dissemination and exploitation of TRIGGER’s results are designed to adapt to the needs of each user. This flexibility is both a strength and a challenge in the current climate...
We made a cartoon book about infectious diseases. Here’s why.
We made a cartoon book about infectious diseases. Here’s why. Climate change isn’t just about rising or receding seas and extreme weather. It’s also changing which diseases can reach us and where. As Europe gets warmer, mosquitoes, ticks, and sandflies are spreading...
Sand Flies: A Dangerous Insect on a Changing Planet
Sand Flies: A Dangerous Insect on a Changing Planet An article for Frontiers for Young Minds The CLIMOS project, as part of the European Climate-Health Cluster, has contributed to an article about sand flies published in Frontiers for Young Minds. This...
Strengthening Global Ties to Tackle Coastal Health Risks
As a leading scientific partner in BlueAdapt, Bangor University contributes essential expertise on how climate change is transforming coastal environments — and what this means for public health. This year, a team from Bangor travelled to China to participate in an...
New model improves accuracy for safer bathing waters
A powerful tool for predicting risks A new study led by BlueAdapt researcher Hao Wang (Deltares, Netherlands) shows that accounting for sunlight exposure and sediment interactions significantly improves predictions of harmful contamination in bathing waters. The...
Uncoping: Insights from urban heat exposure during and after pregnancy
By Martins Iyekekpolor It’s hot. The weather forecast says 34°C, but in the densely populated urban township of Mamelodi in the Tshwane District of South Africa, it feels even hotter. There are few trees, almost no shade, and the sun presses down on corrugated...
The Second Edition of the European Climate and Health Cluster Newsletter
We are excited to share the second edition of the European Climate and Health Cluster Newsletter, highlighting how our projects are advancing the science on climate and health, strengthening collaboration with policymakers, and turning research into meaningful action....

CLIMOS findings at the World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology (WAAVP)
Dr. Carla Maia of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal, presented initial findings from the CLIMOS project at the 30th Conference of the World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology (WAAVP) in Curitiba, Brazil. Her talk, titled “Phlebotomine...
CLIMOS Opinion Articles – An expert view of our work.
The CLIMOS project is a European research initiative working to develop an Early Warning System (EWS) for sand fly-borne diseases (SFBDs). With climate change driving tropical diseases into new regions, Europe is becoming increasingly vulnerable to illnesses such as...
