Welcome Trust
BC3-Basque Centre for Climate Change Sede Building 1, 1st floor, Scientific Park of the University of the Basque Country, Leioa, Bizkaia, SpainResearchers explore the health benefits of climate change.
A series of papers published in The ‘Lancet’ show that many measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will have positive impacts for health that will offset some of the costs of climate change mitigation.
The research, conducted by an international team led by Professor Sir Andrew Haines, Director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and part-funded by the Wellcome Trust, analyses the effects of policies to tackle climate change in four sectors: food, transport, household energy and electricity generation.
