My name is Klaus and I work in climate and health research—how’s everything going?
I’ve come from Augsburg, the city where I live in Germany, to spend my summer holidays here. We have many green spaces, rivers, and canals there.
These days I’ve been visiting El Retiro Park, Oeste Park, and now the Royal Botanical Garden.
Can you recommend another park for me to visit? Perhaps it could serve as inspiration for my research!
Researching climate and health: why? what for?
Climate change and its impacts cannot be solved overnight. While our actions are important, their results take time.
So, what can we do in the meantime to respond to emerging health needs?
That’s why we do research!
Scientific research allows us to better understand the risks and impacts of climate change, identify the most vulnerable people, and design solutions that address health and wellbeing needs.
If you come across Silvana Di Sabatino in the garden, she can tell you more about the TRIGGER project, which studies how climate change affects our health and wellbeing.
How can we support research?
By making use of the knowledge generated by researchers:
Taking part in activities on climate change, health, and resilience—like the one we’re in today!
Getting informed through official, evidence-based sources.
Sharing what you’ve learnt with others. An informed community is a prepared community!
And I give you the letter
“T” for Temperature!
“T” for Temperature!
