Climate Action To Advance HeaLthY Societies in Europe

Description du projet

Trouver des moyens de lutter contre les effets du changement climatique sur la santé

Le projet CATALYSE, financé par l’UE, est une association interdisciplinaire qui étudie les effets du changement climatique sur la santé publique. Il étudie également le développement de données, de connaissances et de méthodes pour y remédier. Dans ce contexte, le projet créera un moyen unifié de déterminer et de suivre les problèmes et les avantages pour la santé, ainsi que les coûts et avantages sociaux et environnementaux non liés à la santé. Il concevra en outre de nouveaux cadres de surveillance, de prédiction et d’atténuation permettant de déclencher des réponses efficaces aux risques sanitaires induits par l’environnement. Par ailleurs, il étudiera la réaction des parties prenantes aux effets sur la santé et créera des moyens de renforcer l’implication. Enfin, il évaluera, validera et formulera des conseils concernant les meilleures approches du système de santé pour atténuer le changement climatique et s’y adapter.

Objectif

Despite clear signs that the impacts of climate change are escalating, the global response has been inadequate. Traditional scientific efforts have fallen short of providing knowledge and tools that have been broadly applied in decision-making, and innovative approaches to knowledge translation are needed. To catalyse climate action in Europe to protect public health, our overarching goal is to provide new knowledge, data, and tools on: i) the relationships between changes in environmental hazards caused by climate change, ecosystems, and human health; ii) the health co-benefits of climate action; iii) the role of health evidence in decision making; and iv) the societal implications of climate change for health systems. This will be achieved through five specific objectives: 1) to develop an integrated indicator framework and repository to track the status of health-relevant outcomes of climate actions; 2) to quantify the health co-benefits and full social and environmental costs and benefits resulting from mitigation measures outside of the health sector; 3) to develop innovative surveillance and forecasting tools that facilitate effective response to environmental health hazards (e.g. heat stress, allergenic pollen) caused by climate change and the design, monitoring and evaluation of interventions to mitigate climate change; 4) to investigate how stakeholders engage with evidence regarding the health impacts of climate change, and to develop strategies and tools to facilitate engagement; and 5) to provide evidence and training on the most effective strategies for climate change adaptation and mitigation for health systems, with specific focus on vulnerable populations including those occupationally exposed to hazards induced by climate change. CATALYSE is a powerful, interdisciplinary consortium with a mission to further develop and communicate evidence of the health impacts of climate change and respond to the urgent need for solutions.
CATALYSE is part of the European cluster on climate change and health (name and acronym to be decided).
