Consultative Platform On Climate And Health in Africa
Building a transdisciplinary community of practice towards enhanced decision support environment on Climate and Health (C & H) research and policy in Africa
Join us
Platform Networks
This can be achieved by creating platforms and networks that bring together researchers, policy-makers, and practitioners from various disciplines and sectors. Such platforms facilitate knowledge exchange, sharing of best practices, and collaboration on research and policy development.
The platforms can also be used to encourage regular communication channels such as meetings, conferences, and webinars to help foster dialogue and information sharing between different stakeholders. This ensures that C & H stakeholders are up-to-date with the latest research, policy updates, and field experiences.
Why Climate & Health Platform
The Transformation Needed
The transformation needed to address the health impacts of climate change in Africa will demand innovative approaches of mobilizing resources, working jointly, and applying knowledge.To efficiently address the diverse C & H challenges as well as the varied needs and interests of actors in the different sectors, research must be effectively interlinked with policymaking, planning, and action.
Co-generation Approach
The co-generation of data across disciplines is one approach that can foster such transformations. By providing timely and policy-relevant research, researchers can support evidence-based decision-making and effective implementation of climate and health policies.
Connecting Climate and Health
Information on the connection between climate and health will equally be provided on the platform as most people view them separately. This can be done by sharing evidence of how climate change can affect the health sector, and similarly how the health sector can get prepared and minimize the negative effects of climate change.

Technical Report: Building Effective Communities of Practice for Transdisciplinary Research and Action in Climate Change and Health in Africa
The escalating impacts of climate change on health-determining sectors such as agriculture, food security, energy, disaster risk, and broader social structures require urgent, multi-sectoral approaches. This technical report explores how Communities of Practice (CoPs) can enhance transdisciplinary collaboration in Africa's climate and health policy landscape.

Climate Change and Health: Bridging the Attribution Gap through Climate Epidemiology
Climate change, once a distant topic confined to scientific circles and environmental forums, is now an undeniable reality impacting every aspect of our lives. From extreme weather events to rising sea levels, it is widely recognized as a critical global issue threatening ecosystems, economies, and human societies. However, public discourse and policymaking often overlook the significant impacts of climate change on human health, although this has gained more attention recently.
