Climate change is both a public health threat and opportunity. Hear the findings of a new UK report, which reveals how to better integrate health and climate at the national policy level.
Advancing and Integrating Climate and Health Policies in the United Kingdom examines the integration of climate and health policies in the UK, based on 42 expert interviews. It has been written by researchers based at the University of East Anglia (UEA), Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, and the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
The report is part of a project funded by the Wellcome Trust, and in partnership with researchers from six other countries/regions. Reports covering these other countries will be published shortly, followed by an international synthesis report.
