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.

Tracking pollution in the food chain
The Bay of Biscay is home to popular holiday resorts – and it’s the source of the regional Basque staple, squid. What are the effects of pollution and pathogens on the squid? And what could be the broader impacts of this?
Every year, approximately one million people die from vector-borne diseases, and climate change impacts are likely to worsen the situation
Climate change is already having adverse effects on the transmission and spread of vector-borne diseases, and the severity of these impacts is expected to escalate. The CLIMOS project is playing an important role in mitigating and preventing the transmission and spread of vector-borne diseases.
Climate-Health Cluster at ENBEL Conference: Health impacts of climate change, a way forward
The Climate-Health Cluster will participate in the ENBEL 2023 conference on 12 October 2023, in Stockholm, Sweden in a session focused on exploring the health effects of climate change, providing insights into the ongoing research conducted by the 6 Horizon Europe project forming the cluster.
BlueAdapt Annual Meeting 2023
BlueAdapt’s hybrid annual meeting in Bologna brought together over 40 experts to discuss pressing concerns facing coastal regions and bathing water quality in relation to climate change. Research and policy experts shared a wealth of knowledge and insights, merging various disciplines and research areas. Here’s a short summary of discussions from the meeting.
Empowering Europe against infectious diseases: innovative framework to tackle climate-driven health risks
Publication of the scientific paper “Decision-Support Tools to Build Climate Resilience Against Emerging Infectious Diseases in Europe and Beyond”, introducing a transformative approach to tackle the emergence and transmission of climate-sensitive infectious diseases in Europe.
Takeaways from the WHO 7th Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health
BlueAdapt’s team from EuroHealthNet showcased the project’s research goals during the WHO 7th Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health, held in Budapest. Learn the team’s takeaways from the conference, highlighting the urgent need to address coastal water pollution in combating climate change risks for public health.
