ISGlobal
ISGlobal is a consolidated hub of excellence in research. The Climate, Air Pollution, Nature and Urban Health research programme and the Urban Planinng, Environment and Health Initiative aim to strengthen the evidence base in the field of the health effects of climate change and urban exposures, and assess the health co-benefits of climate action. The focus is on exposures such as air pollution, temperature, green spaces, and noise, and in outcomes such as premature mortality, cardiovascular and respiratory health, and cognitive function. This research is complemented by computational modelling of global climate variations and tipping points and their impact on health. We generate iimpact in society thorugh knowledge transltion activities and collaobrations across different sectors. The ultimate objective is to support healthy (urban) living, and forecast and reduce the health impacts of climate change.
