How can we design and embed robust, cross-cutting indicators of, and improve our understanding of, human, animal, plant, and environmental health in systems under pressure from climate change?
Background
Human and animal health are closely entwined, often via the environment in which they interact. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided a forceful demonstration of this interaction. Human and animal health is also strongly influenced by the “health” of the environment. These interactions, considered as a system, define the research field, “One Health”.

Funded by: NERC
Why might this be relevant?
The project aims to assess the impact of climate change on human health and well-being, specifically focusing on pathogens that occur in proximity to certain countries and have epidemiological linkages to temperature or moisture levels in the environment.
