#IamAPHRC's #ClimateAction4NCDs, supported by @MedResFdn, aims to study the interactions between climate change, air quality, and the loss of urban green spaces in four cities in Senegal. In this context, #APHRCinWestAfrica, @LSHTM & @santegouv_sn convened experts to tackle climate change & noncommunicable diseases.
Discussions highlighted how rising temperatures, poor air quality, and diminishing urban green spaces threaten public health. Together, stakeholders co-developed a theory of change to drive adaptation strategies, enhance healthcare access, and strengthen cross-sector collaboration.
APHRC remains committed to deepening the understanding of the climate-health nexus and driving impactful solutions that shape policies and protect vulnerable communities.

1st contribution of the #ACTUALproject @snsf_ch @ISPMBern @OeschgerCentre we show the complex relationship between heat-humidity-health using DAGs. This is crucial to defining your analytical model, which indeed is rarely considered when modelling humidity in heat-health studies!
First paper of the PhD is out in #ERL @IOPenvironment . @CentreOeschger @ISPMBern @unibern
Here, we explain the analytical complexity in epidemiological studies concerning the role of humidity in heat-related health impacts using DAGs. @AnaVicedo9

Can cash transfers help pregnant women adapt to extreme heat?
This is what our recently published study sought to understand - read more about the study below 😄

As part of #PlanetaryHealthWeek, we organised a bring-and-share vegetarian breakfast competition, a fun way to promote healthy eating to protect our planet.
We also visited our on-site biogas plant, an innovative facility to advance our contribution to a healthier environment.
Fantastic showcase of plastic recycling action and future plans by Aliyu, an amazing PhD student who led the student jubilee team - thanks Aliyu! @LSHTM_Planet
The theme for this year’s #PlanetaryHealthWeek is "Action for All."
To observe the week, we organised a seminar on the impact of plastic waste and innovative recycling efforts at health research institutes. We also visited our 3D printing facility.
