Strategic research and innovation agenda on health and climate change
The Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda on Health and Climate Change provides a forward-thinking overview of the research needs and knowledge gaps related to human health and climate change. It aims to inform EU funding priorities and inspire global research initiatives on these topics. The agenda emphasises themes such as facilitating research uptake, promoting a fair research ecosystem and fostering international cooperation. Cross-cutting areas covered by the agenda include inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration, climate-driven health inequalities, data infrastructures and innovative tools and technologies. The agenda includes gaps on the direct and indirect health impacts of climate change, mitigation in the health sector and enhancing resilience across society and healthcare systems. It also emphasises bridging the gap between research and action and highlights the need for greater resources and a more equitable distribution of global funding.
