Indicators on climate change and health
Here you can consult climate-health related indicators relevant for Europe.
Currently, the Observatory includes indicators from three sources:
- EEA indicators are developed to support EEA's reports and the Observatory's thematic pages. More EEA indicators related to climate change adaptation are accessible from the Climate ADAPT database.
- Lancet Countdown Europe indicators are a subset of all indicators published in the 2022 Europe report of the Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: towards a climate resilient future. Indicators from the global Lancet Countdown collaboration can be found in the online data platform.
- Copernicus climate indices are a subset of the indicators provided in the European Climate Data Explorer with particular relevance for human health.
The list of indicators, and institutions and networks providing them, is continuously being expanded.
