My name is Silvana Di Sabatino and I coordinate TRIGGER, a European project that brings together scientists, doctors, cities and communities to better understand how climate change affects our health and wellbeing.

I work as a professor and researcher at the University of Bologna, and for many years I have studied how cities, climate and the air we breathe interact.

The driving force behind TRIGGER is its Climate-Health Connection Labs (CHC Labs).

Let’s get to know them!

The five CHC Labs are located in Augsburg, Bologna, Geneva, Heraklion and Oulu.

Each city faces different challenges: extreme heat, pollution, floods, fires, or impacts on vulnerable people.
