In this BSC talk, Prof Rachel Lowe introduces the work of the Global Health Resilience (GHR) Group in the BSC Earth Sciences department. In collaboration with climate scientists, software engineers and science communication experts, GHR researchers co-create policy-relevant digital tools, to enhance preparedness and response to emerging infectious diseases in climate change hotspots.

This work aims to improve decision-support systems for public health and humanitarian agencies and build climate resilience in Latin America & the Caribbean, Asia and Africa. Rachel also outlines the work of the Lancet Countdown in Europe, a transdisciplinary international collaboration tracking the health impacts of climate change and the health co-benefits of climate action across Europe.
