Approaching unsafe limits: climate-related health inequities within and beyond Europe
Kim R. van Daalen et al. – The Lancet Regional Health. Europe, Vol 31, Iss , Pp 100683- (2023)
The article from The Lancet Regional Health – Europe presents a new framework to tackle climate-sensitive infectious diseases in Europe. It emphasizes the need for decision-support tools and policy-relevant indicators to track and respond to climate-induced health risks. The framework, developed under the IDAlert project, integrates a One Health approach, connecting human, animal, and environmental health for better disease monitoring, resilience, and preparedness across sectors.

Chapter 12 Early warning systems for vector-borne diseases: engagement, methods and implementation
Emilie Finch et al. – Planetary health approaches to understand and control vector-borne diseases | Chapter 12
Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) cause over 700,000 deaths yearly, worsened by climate change and urbanization. Climate-informed early warning systems (EWS) use climate data to predict outbreaks, enabling faster public health responses. Despite their success in disaster risk reduction, EWS are underused in health, with few operational tools available.
