Description
Adaptation strategies are being implemented across Europe to strengthen resilience and reduce vulnerability to climate change. The European Commission’s NextGenerationEU Covid-19 Recovery Fund includes among others funding and support for climate change adaptation and resilience strategies. In its policy brief, ENBEL, a European project aimed at connecting health and climate change research, warns that current commitments in the EU Member State Covid-19 Recovery Plans addressing climate change adaptation and health system resilience are unlikely to improve adaptation to protect human health. This is a result of limited alignment of health system resilience with climate adaptation objectives and co-benefits of climate actions for health. Still, ENBEL sees many learning opportunities from the Covid-19 pandemic for climate and health policies.
ENBEL's policy briefs can be consulted at their website.

The ENBEL project supports EU policy making by bringing together leaders in climate change and health research through a network of major international health and climate research projects under the Belmont Forum’s Collaborative Research Action (CRA), Societal Challenge 1 and 5 of EU’s Horizon 2020, and other national and international funding schemes. This network develops evidence syntheses and co-produces with stakeholders a series of tailor-made knowledge products. The key thematic focus is on environmental and occupational heat, air pollution (including from wildfires) and climate-sensitive infectious diseases, with specific attention given to high-risk groups and populations.
