Project description
Health risks from coastal pathogens amplified by climate change
Bringing together a consortium of biologists, climate scientists, economists, epidemiologists and public health experts, the EU-funded BlueAdapt project will conduct case studies and demonstrate how the One Health and Ecological Public Health concepts can generate action and identify potential barriers to adaptation. Horizon scanning and downscaled climate modelling will feed into laboratory experiments and coastal zone simulations to investigate how climate change, interacting with other environmental changes, may influence the state of selected microbial pathogens of public health concern in coastal waters. It will design tools to assess the impacts of policy responses and share the results with policymakers and the public. The project will develop a conceptual framework for One Health to support broader engagement with the complex nature of this issue.
Objective
BlueAdapt brings together an interdisciplinary team of biologists, climate scientists, economists, epidemiologists and public health experts to investigate and quantify the future health risks associated with selected coastal pathogens. BlueAdapt will provide tools to assess the impacts of policy responses and communicate the results to a wide audience, including both policymakers and the public. A conceptual framework will be developed around existing models of One Health and Ecological Public Health, to help wider engagement with the complex nature of the issue. Horizons scanning and downscaled climate modelling will feed into lab based experiments and the development of simulations around how changes in climate variables, interacting with other environmental change, may influence the state of selected microbial pathogens of public health concern in coastal waters. Case studies will illustrate how One Health and Ecological Public Health concepts can be used to generate action and identify potential barriers to adaptation. Health impact assessment and cost-benefit analysis will inform appropriate action. BlueAdapt Innovation Slams and policy workshops will help deliver wider impact from the project including new-to-firm and new-to-market products and services.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
