Technical Assistance to Regional Capacity Development for Strengthening Resilience to Climate Change in the Health Sector in the Greater Mekong Subregion (formerly Mitigating Human Impact of Climate Change) ( 2016 - 2020 )
- Development of software to enable the modelling of long-term early warning systems (taking into account short-term early warning systems and disease surveillance). This open-source platform is integrated into a database of climate and health data currently used by countries.
- An integrated surveillance database on climate change and human health has been created using data from national and international sources.
- A digital atlas, which also serves as an integrated database on climate and epidemiology, has been created to illustrate the results of the software’s projections. The atlas allows users to view the results of the projections on maps according to various parameters (e.g., health impact, time horizon, country and climate scenario)
- Improved knowledge and understanding of the relationship between climate change and human health, through capacity building of human resources in climate adaptation within the health sector, and the sharing and dissemination of knowledge products and the promotion of advocacy.
