Elizabeth Blackwell Institute for Health Research and Cabot Institute for the Environment recruited a cohort of Climate Change and Health PhD students in 2023, supported by a cross-disciplinary team of academic staff who are experts in their fields. We caught up with the students a year into their projects for an update on how their research projects are going.
Researchers from the University of Bristol are spearheading new efforts to understand the impacts of climate change on the Brazilian Amazon and its Indigenous and traditional communities.
A new report has revealed for the first time the wide-ranging and increasing health dangers posed by long-term weather extremes in the UK, as the effects of climate change deepen.
We are delighted to announce the successful bid-winning projects for our 2023 Climate Change and Health research funding call. Generously funded by the University of Bristol US Foundation, the fund supports interdisciplinary research studies aiming to understand and shape responses to the enormous challenges of climate change impacts on health.
The Cabot Institute for the Environment and Elizabeth Blackwell Institute for Health Research have recruited a cohort of funded PhD students in the area of Climate Change and Health. Three new PhD projects will be supported by a cross-disciplinary team of academic staff who are experts in their fields.
This Earth Day (22 April) – an international day for environmental protection - we are raising awareness of how our changing climate is affecting our health. Watch our series of films to find out more about the challenges we face and how research is part of the answer.
Research has highlighted how weather extremes worsened by climate change are now a major national public health threat.
There is a major need to understand the changing global health landscape due to the social and economic effects of globalisation. Many factors, including increases in migration, urbanisation, climate change and world-wide instability, call for an interdisciplinary approach to research and a need to develop international partnerships to tackle the many issues of human health that can only be addressed in a global context.
In April 2023 we launched a rapid research funding call for interdisciplinary health research. The aim was to support health-related research in any context, including: equitable and sustainable health; climate, environment and health; infectious disease research; mental health; and transformative technologies for health. Below you'll find details of the researchers and projects we will be supporting.
Bringing together researchers from multiple disciplines to find out the effects of rising heat stress on women’s health.
