Inserm aims to promote work on the relationship between climate change and health, through a call for projects within the framework of the Climate Change and Health impulse programme. Work aimed at characterising the effects of climate change on health and its underlying mechanisms can be supported. The Institute also supports research on the identification of adaptation and mitigation strategies that maximise co-benefits, as well as on the opportunities and obstacles to the adoption of measures associated with these strategies.
Through this booster programme, Inserm affirms its determination to position itself at the national and international level on the emerging research theme of the links between climate change and health. Inserm wishes to encourage the emergence and consolidation of projects and collaborations around the theme of the relationship between climate change and health, and to attract new students and researchers to this theme.
Thanks to this programme, Inserm intends to develop the expertise and attractiveness of its teams, and place them in a position to obtain European or international funding in the coming years.
To achieve these objectives, the programme includes a call for projects, as well as initiatives such as the organisation of an annual international symposium.
The projects submitted must fall within the scope of one or more of the following workpackages.
- Workpackage 1 : Health effects and impacts of climate change
- Workpackage 2 : Adaptation, mitigation and health strategies
- Workpackage 3 : Dynamics of change
