Mission
The identification of climate change as responsible for several risk factors for human health has been widely accepted by the scientific community. Its effects can be direct (due to heat waves, floods, among others) and indirect (which can result from changes in food security and safety and/or increased use of chemical substances, among others).
In order to contribute to minimize the impact of climate change on the health of the populations, this working group aims to:
– Promote synergies with the various national and international stakeholders that play a relevant role in the advance of scientific and technical knowledge in the areas of mitigation and adaptation to climate change;
– Prepare and submit research projects that contribute to a greater capacity of the country to anticipate and respond to the climate change scenario;
– Promote interdisciplinary research aimed at preventing and minimizing the impact of climate change on human health;
– Respond to the problems that climate change poses to public and occupational health services.
