Climate change is one of several drivers of recurrent outbreaks and the expansion of the geographical range of infectious diseases in Europe. Members of the IDAlert consortium, brought together to address the emergence and transmission of climate-sensitive infectious diseases, have proposed an integrated framework of one health and climate risk to develop policy-relevant indicators and decision-support tools. They aim to monitor climate-induced disease risks and, as such, to bridge the gap between knowledge and action.
This approach includes multi-level engagement, innovative methodologies and new data flows to develop early warning and response systems and assess the costs and benefits of climate change adaptation and mitigation. More details on the new framework based on the combined experience of the consortium IDAlert you can read in the article The Lancet by Rockloev et al. (2023) .
