Estimating future heat-related and cold-related mortality under climate change, demographic and adaptation scenarios in 854 European cities - Nature Medicine Modeled analyses of 854 European cities show that net temperature-related mortality will increase because of an increase in heat-related mortality exceeding future reductions in cold-related mortality...

New paper from the EXHAUSTION project: Unless _strong_ mitigation and adaptation measures are implemented, most European cities will see an increase in temperature-related deaths. Thanks to @pmasselot.bsky.social @gasparrini.bsky.social and the EXHAUSTION team! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

€970M for Health Research in 2025, €0 for Climate Change and Healthβ€” Let’s Close This Critical Gap – SPHERA On the basis of information about the upcoming Horizon Europe 2025 call for proposals, the European Commission has proposed a budget of around €970 million for health researchβ€”yet, alarmingly, no funds are allocated to research on the effects of climate change on health. This needs to change.
