End Year


overview

The three-year project spatialises climate impacts on health with a focus on vulnerable settlements in the global South. It is structured as a consortium, with partners across India, Kenya, Sierra Leone, South Africa and the UK. This is an opportunity for comparative research through transdisciplinary teams, bringing together fields of climate change and health, across geographies to (a) synthesise and contextualize the impacts of climate change on health in vulnerable urban settlements (b) co-produce compelling storylines of health-related climate impact and responses in order to bring causal pathways to life; and (c) develop new approaches to achieving impact at multiple scales.
