Descrizione del progetto
Sostenere la politica dell’UE sui cambiamenti climatici e sugli effetti per la salute
Dal momento che i cambiamenti climatici sono una crescente fonte di preoccupazione per le persone di tutto il mondo, i paesi e le organizzazioni hanno iniziato ad agire introducendo nuove leggi o politiche. Per avviare e introdurre queste leggi e politiche, i paesi necessitano dell’aiuto di specialisti in settori che includono i cambiamenti climatici e la ricerca sanitaria per combattere il problema nel modo più efficiente possibile, evitando inoltre di causare ulteriori problemi. Purtroppo, tale processo di attuazione può essere complicato e dispendioso in termini di tempo. Il progetto ENBEL, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di rendere questo processo più semplice unendo un gruppo di esperti in materia di cambiamenti climatici e ricerca sanitaria che forniranno assistenza nel processo decisionale dell’UE.
Obiettivo
ENBEL will support EU policy making by bringing together leaders in climate change and health research. We do so by coordinating a network of major international health and climate research projects under the Belmont Forum’s Collaborative Research Action (CRA), Societal Challenge 1 and 5 of EU’s Horizon 2020, and other national and international funding schemes. The network will develop evidence syntheses and co-produce with stakeholders a series of tailor-made knowledge products. The project will engage with EU policy advisors to translate science into policies that help shape low-carbon economies and build climate resilience in member countries while supporting EU diplomacy and development strategies.
The overall concept of ENBEL is a bottom-up approach to networking and cooperation across the often separate worlds of climate and health research communities. This can have major impacts on knowledge production and policies. ENBEL brings together a consortium whose work generates actionable knowledge on how climate change-health risks will develop under global warming, what are the social costs and effective, cost-efficient and equitable mitigation and adaptation strategies. ENBEL focuses on three major climate change related health hazards: environmental and occupational heat, air pollution (particularly from wildfires) and climate-sensitive infectious diseases, with specific attention given to high risk groups and populations within Europe, and in Africa/Asia-Pacific region. ENBEL will support a knowledge management platform of EU funded research on climate change and health is two ways: A) build and manage a web-based knowledge platform of health impact of climate change by using innovative tools such as video, photos, maps and infographics; B) connect to existing and recognised knowledge platforms.Through our partners in low-and middle-income countries (LMIC), ENBEL will support, strengthen and establish channels for collaboration and capacity-building in LMIC.
