Films explain how we can find solutions for a healthier future

Climate change is one of the biggest health threats facing humanity. It is already affecting our health, and these impacts are likely to increase. A series of short films developed by the University of Bristol’s Elizabeth Blackwell Institute for Health Research and Cabot Institute for the Environment explain how the health of our planet is linked to human health, and how research at Bristol will help us to understand these complex and interwoven issues.

The Climate Change and Health research programme is a new collaboration between the two institutes looking into the intersection between climate change and health. The programme brings together experts from different disciplines to understand and address the health impacts of a changing climate.

The films set out some of these complex challenges and explain why it’s urgent we act now; how University Bristol researchers are working together to understand and address the issues; and what we can achieve by investing in this area of research.
