Project description
Protecting brain health from climate change and exposome effects
Climate change and the exposome not only threaten civilisation but also negatively impact brain health, increasing dementia risk. This creates a need for improved understanding and protective strategies. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the CliCBrain project aims to explore how climate change impacts brain health. First, it will create an exposome framework to explore these effects. Second, it will develop strategies to protect brain health at the individual and community levels. Finally, it will formulate recommendations for community, service and policy changes. This initiative will lead to significant scientific advancements, new methodologies and actionable insights for policymakers, establishing a sustainable community of practice focused on climate change and brain health.
Objective
Climate change poses an existential crisis for the future of civilisation and is already significantly affecting the brain health of populations worldwide. These impacts include the direct effects of climate change (extreme heat or cold, flooding, pollution) and downstream exposome effects such as increased migration, food insecurity, and the exacerbation of threats to the brain from structural and systemic issues (unplanned urbanisation and systemic inequality). These factors can have immediate consequences for health and well-being while also increasing the risk of dementia later in life. However, significant gaps remain in understanding how these factors intersect and impact brain health across different contexts, the transdisciplinary methodological frameworks needed to assess them, and how to develop new approaches to protect brain health through design, practice, and policy.. CliCBrain will address these gaps through a strategic programme involving 76 staff/researcher exchanges, 6 networking and training events, and intentional collaboration across 23 global, intersectoral, and interdisciplinary partners. We focus on 3 main objectives: (i) to understand how climate change impacts brain health by developing an extended exposome framework (ii) using these insights to identify, design, and drive new approaches to protect brain health at the individual and community levels and (iii) to develop recommendations to inform and drive change at community, service and policy level. This innovative transdisciplinary initiative will yield high scientific returns, new methodologies and practices, and actionable recommendations for policymakers. CliCBrain will engage widely with public and sectoral stakeholders in co-creation and dissemination activities. This project will create the structure, network, and human capital to sustain a community of practice in climate change and brain health that can inform future policy developments.
