Description

Climate change is associated with human casualties and hospitalisation due to heat exposure. However, although climate change’s impact on human health is widely studied, few works are dedicated to heat-related mortality in Europe over the past century. The EU-funded ATTACH project will focus on recent European heatwaves using death count and hospitalisation statistics from major German cities. The project will combine pioneering epidemiological methods with an innovative approach to climate impact attribution to generate counterfactual climate data, mimicking a world without climate change, from detrended observations. ATTACH will ensure dissemination activities in line with the Paris Agreement to increase adaptation measures for health protection from the consequences of climate change.
