Working towards a world in which all people can enjoy health
Sobre nosotros
ISGlobal is a public-private partnership with a longstanding commitment to global health that builds on the existing research, training, and health activities of its founders and strives to contribute to the global effort to improve health worldwide. It is the fruit of an innovative alliance between the ”la Caixa” Foundation and academic and government institutions to contribute to the efforts undertaken by the international community to address the challenges in global health. ISGlobal is a consolidated hub of excellence in research that has grown out of work first started in the world of health care by the Hospital Clínic and the Parc de Salut MAR and in the academic sphere by the University of Barcelona and Pompeu Fabra University. Its working model is based on the generation of scientific knowledge through Research Programmes and Groups, and its translation through the areas of Training and Analysis and Global Development. ISGlobal has been named a Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence and is a member of the CERCA system of the Generalitat de Catalunya.

📢 C40 Cities has just launched the Healthy Neighbourhood Explorer tool! 🏙️ 🌳This tool allows city planners to quickly identify which neighbourhoods could most benefit from urban planning interventions based on their Healthy Neighbourhood Index score. Check it out here👇
📈 As urban populations continue to grow, it’s crucial to find a better way to design cities, with healthy neighbourhoods that prioritise the wellbeing of both people and the environment. 🌇 C40 Cities and partners are proud to launch the Healthy Neighbourhood Explorer tool, which helps cities understand how changes to neighbourhoods can provide health benefits to local communities. 🚲 This tool embodies a foundational urban design principle: cities should aim to create green and thriving neighbourhoods, where residents can access both essential services and a wide range of urban amenities within a 15-minute walk or cycle ride. 🎥 Watch to learn about the tool: https://c40.me/472jHhH ➡️ Head over to C40’s Knowledge Hub for more information: https://c40.me/471k2RI

So far in 2024, more than 18,000 suspected or confirmed cases of #mpox have been recorded on the African continent. This is more than all the cases recorded in 2023 and 2022.

Researchers used machine learning to analyse roughly 1,500 #climate policies and identify those that have dramatically reduced carbon emissions. Their study, published in 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, found that policies that combine several tools are more effective in slashing emissions than are stand-alone measures.
AI analysed 1,500 policies to cut emissions. These ones worked

What kind of city do you want? Do you want a city for cars? Or do you want a city for people? Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, Director of the Urban Planning, Environment and Health Initiative at #ISGlobal, believes that "cities are for people" and highlights Barcelona's #superblock urban model as a success in The Washington Post. "There's a positive effect on health and well-being," says Nieuwenhuijsen. "There's more green, less air pollution, less noise. And we know it has a better impact on physical activity levels and better mental health. And of course it's good for C02 emissions. They're reduced." Read the full article here:

On #WorldMosquitoDay, we dive into a critical discussion led by Murchana Roychoudhury (Jhumka) on the impact of #ClimateChange on #malaria. While warmer climates could reduce transmission in some areas, they also accelerate the malaria parasite’s life cycle, posing new challenges in existing regions. Extreme weather events, like floods and cyclones, are disrupting health systems and creating breeding grounds for mosquitoes, leading to unpredictable malaria surges that health systems are unprepared to deal with. This blog post underscores the urgent need to adapt malaria prevention and control strategies to meet the challenges posed by a warming planet. It also calls for upon malaria actors to take a close look at the greenhouse gas emissions of their activities and seek to decarbonise and adopt climate-smart strategies wherever possible. "While the potential decrease in malaria incidence under the “middle-of-the-road” climate scenario outlined in a study commissioned by the World Health Organization might seem like a silver lining, we must not forget that a world too hot for mosquitoes is no better for humans. Such a scenario would bring major challenges, including drought, rising sea levels, and food insecurity, all of which will disproportionately impact the most vulnerable populations.
