Environmental and Climate Impacts on Health

This research area focuses on our surrounding environment and how it affects human health. Climate change is altering ecosystems and environmental conditions, and understanding these links is essential to anticipate and prevent adverse health effects. Clean air, safe water, access to health-promoting natural environments, and an environment free from pollutants are fundamental prerequisites for human health and for sustainable development — locally as well as globally.
