Heat, smoke, vectors, water and health systems in a changing climate

Climate and health

WHO and the Lancet Countdown treat climate and health as one field, and the discipline does the same instead of scattering it across heat, air and disease.

Twin figures for Delhi and its National Capital Territory core, counted from its layers at their stated dates.

Twin builder and simulator.

For Climate and health: the faculty's twin of Delhi on the planet map, the globe and in 3D. Pick a generator, switch layers, run the instruments; every layer prints its provider and date.

Delhi and its National Capital Territory core: a flat plan of the faculty twin. Terrain 191 to 315 m; 950 hospitals; 26,073,018 people in the box, 2020; Population density, GPW v4.11 (2020): live, loads in the twin; Air quality, Copernicus CAMS via Open-Meteo (hourly, 5 days): live, loads in the twin; Nitrogen dioxide column, TROPOMI (Sentinel-5P): live, loads in the twin; Surface air temperature, AIRS (daily, day): live, loads in the twin; Urban heat island, summer daytime 2013: live, loads in the twin; Built-up and settlement extent, HBASE 2010: live, loads in the twin. Contours every 50 metres from the elevation grid; people per cell, worldpop 2020 as four classes per cell (edges 4,474, 14,627, 25,652); hospitals as marks.

The discipline in brief.

It teaches heat and health with heat action plans and the wet bulb globe temperature for work, extreme events and the disruption of health services, air quality and wildfire smoke under the WHO air quality guidelines of 2021, the climate suitability of vector-borne and water-borne disease, food and nutrition, mental health, and climate-resilient health systems with the co-benefits of cleaner energy. Delhi's heat on the faculty's stage is the running case. A graduate can read a heat-health warning, estimate attributable risk from a named dataset and plan the adaptation a clinic or a city needs.

This area brings together the health effects of climate change as one field: heat, extreme events, air quality and wildfire smoke, vector-borne and water-borne disease, food and nutrition, mental health and the resilience of health systems. It is taught in the department of Environmental and One Health, Faculty of Health and Society, through courses still to be authored.
