The Belmont Forum, in collaboration with Future Earth, announced a new Collaborative Research Action for transdisciplinary research, which will improve understanding of the pathways between climate, environment and health to protect and promote human health and well-being in the face of climate challenges.
Multilateral, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research projects will investigate where significant uncertainties exist that are barriers to action; address complex climate, ecosystem and health pathways to determine processes underlying causal links; and foster the use of scientific information and climate-related decision support tools to better inform planning and enhance resilience.
AIM 1
Foster global transdisciplinary teams of natural (including climate), health and social scientists and stakeholders to co-produce world-leading research.
AIM 2
Increase knowledge of the complex linkages and pathways between climate variability and change and associated impacts on the environment, on exposure pathways for health, and on human behaviour and well-being.
AIM 3
Provide useful information, scientific evidence and effective tools to support policy and decision-making for planning across various timescales related to climate, environment and health.
