The CHANCE network for climate and health collaboration in Africa - ENBEL educational videos 6/6
The ENBEL project, that brings together climate change and health researchers, has made a series of five short educational videos to give more information on how climate change effects our health and what we can do about it.
The African continent - as the rest of the world - is faced with climate change health effects such as heat and infectious diseases, often affecting the most vulnerable groups in society. In this education video (6/6), Bettina Koelle from the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre and based in South Africa tells about how researchers, scientists, NGOs and policy-makers came together in the CHANCE network (Climate & Health Africa Network for Collaboration and Engagement) to learn from each other and contribute to better and faster implementation of actions to protect peoples' health in Africa. The CHANCE network was established through the EU-funded ENBEL project.
The topics covered by the other four educational videos are air pollution, environmental and occupational heat, vulnerable groups and minorities, costs of climate change, heat health action plans and protection of workers in a changing climate.

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.
