“It’s not so much about how politicians can listen to researchers; it’s more about how we can work together to build spaces for discussion and create public policies together, finding a common language of understanding,” Leire Pajín Iraola, Member of the European Parliament. On 5 December, researchers and policymakers gathered at a workshop hosted by the European Climate-Health Cluster to address the challenge of transforming complex research into actionable policy decisions. The event focused on #ScienceforPolicy #S4P, revealing essential strategies for bridging the gap between scientific evidence and decision-making processes. With a focus on health and climate change, the workshop aimed to empower and support researchers from the six cluster projects—@BlueAdaptEU, CATALYSE Project EU, CLIMOS Project, HIGH Horizons, IDAlert, and TRIGGER EU Project—to contribute meaningfully to evidence-informed policy development. Thank you again to the wonderful speakers who shared valuable perspectives, practical advice, and strategies to enhance the translation of science into policy: Alba Godfrey, Kim van Daalen, PhD, Leire Pajín Iraola, @Peter Löffler, Aleksandra Kazmierczak.

#NbS are powerful tools to address biodiversity loss and #climatechange. But their untintended impact on human health can be overlooked.   For example: 🌱 Wetland restoration enhances biodiversity but may increase mosquito habitats. 🌿 Green corridors cool cities but could raise exposure to ticks. The good news? These risks are manageable with: ✅ Smart design that considers health impacts. ✅ Collaboration with ecologists and public health experts. ✅ Community education to prevent risks.   Want to know more? Join our special #webinar tomorrow 5 December (15:00-16:30), where we’ll explore the critical intersection of NbS, climate change, and public health.   🔗 Register now: https://lnkd.in/ebmBfZ5e

The IDAlert project is an international consortium bringing together leading experts in the #Health sector. We’re proud to share that our Senior Research Coordinator, Raman Preet—a #GlobalHealth professional—took center stage at the First #WHO Global #OralHealth Meeting. She moderated a High-Level Panel and Multi-Stakeholder Panels, emphasizing the critical need for political will and multi-agency partnerships to advance global oral health. These principles also resonate with the broader #climateandhealth discourse. Collaboration, commitment, and a shared sense of purpose are vital to driving progress toward the #HealthforAll agenda. #EUClimateandHealth

The research and indicator development work carried out in IDAlert directly feed into to the The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change in Europe reports. If you too would like to contribute to the development of new Lancet Countdown Europe indicators to monitor the connections between #Health and #ClimateChange in Europe, join their webinar 👇 Webinar details: 📅 Monday, 9th December, 11:00 CET 🔗 Zoom Webinar Registration: https://lnkd.in/eArWiHBq #EUClimateandHealth

🌍 Webinar: Integrating health risks in Nature-Based Solutions🌱 🎤 Join us to hear from Marina Treskova a Junior Group Leader in Eco-Epidemiology at the #HeidelbergPlanetaryHealthHub, Universität Heidelberg. Marina’s work spans epidemiology, biology, modelling and economics, with an emphasis on the connections between environmental health and ecosystem degradation. She is specifically focusing on designing and executing field studies, experimental studies, and socio-ecological interventions within this nexus.      👩🏻💻 Presentation Title: "Nature-Based Solutions and Health in the Context of Climate Change"   📅 Date: 5 December  ⏰ Time: 15:00 - 16:30 CET    🔗 Register now: https://lnkd.in/ebmBfZ5e #PlanetaryHealth #NatureBasedSolutions #ClimateChange #Webinar #IDAlertProject #EUClimateandHealth

🌍 Webinar: Integrating health risks in Nature-Based Solutions🌱 🎤 We’re happy to introduce our first speaker Reina Sikkema, a Veterinarian and Assistant Professor at Erasmus MC Virology Department. Reina leads the research group on #OneHealth #Virology and co-leads several studies examining the potential impacts of climate adaptation measures and Nature-Based Solutions #NbS on vectors, animal hosts, and the associated risks to #HumanHealth. 👩🏻💻 Presentation Title: "Possible adverse effects of NbS, the case of mosquito borne viruses in Rotterdam"   📅 Date: 5 December  ⏰ Time: 15:00 - 16:30 CET    🔗 Register now: https://lnkd.in/ebmBfZ5e #IDAlertProject #EUClimateandHealth

🌍 Join Our Webinar: Integrating health risks in Nature-Based Solutions🌱   🗓 Date: 5 December ⏰ Time: 15:00 - 16:30 CET   While #NbS play a vital role in climate adaptation and mitigation, there’s a critical need to examine their often-overlooked health implications. This session will address the potential risks, such as how NbS can unintentionally contribute to health issues like increased mosquito habitats in urban areas.   👥 Who Should Attend? Environmental scientists, public health professionals, urban planners, policymakers, and anyone interested in the impacts of NbS on infectious disease dynamics and One Health policy integration. This is a unique opportunity to learn how health impacts can be thoughtfully integrated into NbS design and evaluation for safer, healthier communities.   🎤 Featured Speakers: Moderator: Jan Semenza Marina Treskova, University of Heidelberg Marion Koopmans, Erasmus Medical Centre, NL Reina Sikkema, Erasmus Medical Centre, NL   🔗 Register now: https://lnkd.in/ebmBfZ5e   #ClimateChange #NatureBasedSolutions #PublicHealth #OneHealth #InfectiousDiseases #Webinar #EnvironmentalPolicy

🗣 "We are seeing increasing infectious disease threats in Europe, which is in part due to climate change but also globalization and international travel and trade.” - Rachel Lowe   💬 #HERA interviewed Prof. Rachel Lowe, ICREA Research Professor and Global Health Resilience (GHR) Group Leader at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), to discuss the interconnections between #climatechange and the rise of climate-sensitive #infectiousdiseases. In this interview, Prof. Lowe shares her insights on why these outbreaks are increasing and expanding into new regions, especially across Europe, and how changing climate patterns might impact emergency preparedness and future response strategies.   👉 Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/ePQqFNGP
