Climate and Health 2
The health effects of climate change are increasing worldwide. With the Climate and Health 2 programme, ZonMw funds research projects that study the health effects of climate change. The aim is to apply this knowledge directly by stimulating collaboration between research, policy and practice.
Aim of the programme and focus areas
In 2019, ZonMw commissioned the writing of a Climate and Health Knowledge Agenda. In 2021, 3 pilot studies started within the ZonMw programme Pilot studies on Climate and Health, which was based on the Climate and Health Knowledge Agenda.
These pilot studies laid the foundation for transdisciplinary collaboration and further research. The current grant call ‘Climate and Health 2’ provides an opportunity to the pilot projects to expand knowledge development and implementation on the themes of temperature-related health effects and allergies. This grant call is by invitation only.
