The ClimateCHIP website has been developed to ease access to climate data, statistics and climate impact modeling. The website includes some basic information about the health threats from heat stress and other health Impacts. Climate Change Health Impact Profiles (ClimateCHIPs) are available for a number of countries. Also calculation formulas and software applications are available that shall help to generate estimates of human heat stress, as well as various documents and links.
The ClimateCHIP websites aims to encourage and facilitate wider knowledge of the human population health risks associated with global and local climate change, increase awareness of heat stress and its wide-ranging effects, and increase awareness about and actions on the societal risks associated with climate change. Additionally it aims to present to a global audience summaries, calculations and analysis of information on climate conditions and health and well-being impacts; make access to stored data user-friendly; and finally provide accurate basic physics and physiology calculation formulas of heat stress for website users' own applications.
