Climate Information and Health is the study of how climate variability and change impact public health outcomes. It encompasses the analysis of climate data, health indicators, and the interactions between environmental factors and human health, aiming to inform policy and improve health resilience in the face of climate-related challenges.

Key research themes

1. How do extreme climate events directly and indirectly affect human health outcomes and healthcare systems?

This research area investigates the multifaceted health impacts of climate change-induced extreme weather events such as heat waves, floods, droughts, storms, and wildfires. It focuses on quantifying morbidity and mortality related to these extremes, understanding pathophysiological mechanisms, and assessing their burden on health infrastructures and vulnerable populations. This theme matters as the frequency and intensity of these extremes are projected to increase, challenging preparedness, resilience, and equitable healthcare delivery worldwide.

Key finding: This paper provides an integrative analysis of direct health consequences of climate extremes, documenting increased morbidity and mortality from heat waves, floods, droughts, and storm-related injuries. It highlights how... Read more
Key finding: This commentary synthesizes evidence that extreme climate events cause disruptions leading to increases in dehydration, heat stroke, respiratory illness, mental health stressors, and vector-borne diseases. It emphasizes the... Read more
Key finding: The paper documents specific negative health impacts linked to rising temperatures and changing rainfall, such as increased vector-, water-, and food-borne diseases, and heat-related morbidity and mortality. It establishes a... Read more

2. What role does knowledge, perception, and health professional education play in enabling effective climate change health adaptation and mitigation?

This theme explores how awareness, understanding, and risk perception among health professionals and communities impact readiness and capacity to respond to health effects of climate change. The focus includes educational interventions, knowledge gaps, and how health workers and societies can become agents of change. It matters because informed and empowered stakeholders are critical for implementing climate-health adaptation, effective communication, and influencing policy.

Key finding: This cross-sectional study quantitatively demonstrates that while health professionals in Sunyani, Ghana are generally aware of climate change, many lack detailed scientific knowledge and exhibit varying risk perceptions... Read more

3. How can integrated environmental data, exposome approaches, and quantitative risk assessment frameworks improve understanding and policy development for climate change-related health risks?

This theme covers methodological advancements that link climate data, environmental exposures, and health outcomes using novel integrative tools like exposomics, statistical risk modeling, and systematic global impact frameworks. Emphasizing interdisciplinary data integration and quantitative metrics, research in this area advances evidence-based policy-making, vulnerability assessment, and development of early warning systems to enhance climate-health resilience.

Key finding: This paper introduces the exposome framework as a holistic approach to quantify lifetime environmental exposures, including those altered by climate change, combined with advances in OMICs technologies for detailed molecular... Read more
