EU policies on climate change adaptation, on health and on several other domains, various European agencies and authorities, and the Horizon Europe funding programme for research and innovation constitute the European policy framework for policies that are relevant to the health impacts of climate change.
The European policy framework consists of specific EU policies on climate adaptation and coordinating activities on health. In addition, several other policy areas, including e.g., biodiversity, energy, the built environment, finance, or water, allow responding to climate-related health risks. To support coordinated responses in the EU and to monitor, prevent and prepare for health risks due to climate change, diverse European agencies and authorities play a key role, including the European Environment Agency (EEA), the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and the European Health Emergency and Preparedness Response Authority (HERA). Research and innovation the intersection between climate change and health in the EU is funded under the Horizon Europe funding programme (running until 2027).
