[ld_fancy_heading tag=”h2″]Addressing the impacts of climate change on the emergence and spread of infectious diseases[/ld_fancy_heading][ld_fancy_heading tag=”p” use_custom_fonts_title=”true” fs=”text_all:18px|text_large:18px|text_medium:18px|text_small:18px”]As our planet heats up due to climate change, outbreaks of zoonotic diseases – diseases that spread from animals to humans – are increasing and expanding to new parts of the world, in particular Europe. Warmer temperatures, more variable rainfall, and the loss of biodiversity influence the survival and spread of zoonotic pathogens, and the reproduction and geographic location of their vectors, such as mosquitoes or ticks.

Past and recent health crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, have shown there is a need for stronger and more inclusive preparedness and responsiveness to epidemic-prone pathogens at the EU and global level.[/ld_fancy_heading][ld_fancy_heading tag=”p” use_custom_fonts_title=”true” fs=”text_all:18px|text_large:18px|text_medium:18px|text_small:18px”]IDAlert aims to tackle this challenge by developing a range of decision-support tools and systems to enable decision-makers to act on time with improved responses.[/ld_fancy_heading]

6 Horizon Europe projects, BlueAdapt, CATALYSE, CLIMOS, HIGH Horizons, IDAlert, and TRIGGER, form the climate change and health cluster.

All cluster projects address climate change-induced health risks and help increase preparedness and adaptation by creating synergies, sharing experiences and knowledge, and developing aligned communication actions to maximise impact.

For this, the project is implementing an innovative co-creation, participatory, and citizen science approach, involving stakeholders to understand their needs and address gaps.

In addition, an EcoHealth and One Health systems perspective is integrated into the research, taking account of the close connection between humans, animals, the environment, and the increase in infectious diseases. [/ld_fancy_heading]
