Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the production of a Special Issue entitled “Linking Epidemiology and Public Health Practice to Support Climate and Health Adaptation” in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. Climate change has become a part of our everyday lives. Unpredictable and extreme weather associated with climate change has new direct and indirect health impacts, challenging public health systems and programs that were developed under a different ecological regime. Funding for science and many public agencies is increasingly stretched thin as a result of increasing natural disasters and unforeseen public health emergencies. Evidence-based interventions for climate and health adaptation are critical for developing climate resilient communities.
We are interested in publishing papers that demonstrate innovative methods, partnerships, and adaptation strategies that link epidemiologic research to public health practice to support climate adaptation. We encourage contributions that document new methods for triangulating data to assess climate impacts on health, applied epidemiologic analyses that support climate adaptation or policy, community participatory approaches, or practical, data-driven climate adaptation interventions and evaluations of these programs. Contributions related to specific climate-related health outcomes or public health climate resilience planning, in general, are welcome.
We invite you to consider submitting your work to this Special Issue. The deadline for submission is 30 April 2022.
