In light of summer 2021 approaching, in which we are still in a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the recent WHO report on evidence for heat and health prevention in Europe provides useful insights on how to adjust Heat health adaptation plans (HHAPs) to ensure an effective heat response.

Different indicators change in different ways, but climate models project a clear trend of increasing heat stress, according to a new scientific publication from the EXHAUSTION project.

Climate change is according to the WHO the greatest threat to human health in the 21st century. By bringing together leaders in climate change and health research, this international project will contribute with knowledge and policy advice on climate change and health impacts.

2 December 2020 the 17 ENBEL partners and advisory board members present on four continents met for a digital kick off of the project.
