About us
Climate change threatens to undermine the last 50 years of gains for public health, intensifying heatwaves and extreme weather events, worsening flood and drought, altering the spread of infectious diseases, and exacerbating poverty and mental ill-health. Crucially, the response to climate change brings immense benefits for human health, with cleaner air, healthier diets, and more liveable cities. The Lancet Countdown: Tracking Progress on Health and Climate Change exists to monitor this transition from threat to opportunity. We are a collaboration of over 120 leading experts from 35 universities and UN agencies across the globe, bringing together climate scientists, engineers, energy, economists, political scientists, public health professionals, and doctors. Each year our findings are published annually in medical journal The Lancet ahead of the UN climate change negotiations. Our data makes clear how climate change is affecting our health, the consequences of delayed action and the health benefits of a robust response. The Lancet Countdown works to ensure that health is at the centre of how governments understand and respond to climate change. This ranges from ensuring policymakers have access to high-quality evidence-based guidance, through to providing the health profession with the tools they need to improve public health.

* New Publication * My new paper with Slava Jankin, Dafni Kalatzi Pantera, Marina Belén Romanello, PhD, "Public engagement with health and climate change around the world: a Google Trends analysis", is now out (open access) in The Lancet Planetary Health: https://lnkd.in/edhknBCU While there has been growing evidence to suggest that a health framing of climate change can increase public support for climate policies and pro-environment behaviours, we know little about people's engagement with health and climate change around the world. We use Google Trends data to address this. Based on people's Google searches of climate change and health, we derive several insights: 1. Over the past decade—and particularly since 2020—there has been growing public engagement via Google Searches with health and climate change around the world. 2. While peaks in global engagement are largely driven by spikes in engagement with climate change more generally, the overall trend of increasing engagement with “climate change health” over the 10-year period is distinct from trends in engagement with either “climate change” or “health” separately. 3. Engagement with health and climate change via Google searches is highest in low- and middle-income countries, especially in SIDS and African countries. Hence, engagement is highest among the regions most affected by the impacts of climate change, and in those that have contributed least to the problem. 4. Engagement with health and climate change is higher than with other climate change-associated issues, such as those related to the economy, conflict, and security. This, again, indicates growing engagement with the relationship between health and climate change among the global public, and the increasing salience of a health framing of climate change. #climatechange #health #climatechangehealth

On behalf of the Lancet Countdown Europe collaboration, we have just published a comment in the Lancet Regional Health Europe journal, where we argue that Europe must demonstrate strong commitment to its climate action reinforcing its #greendeal, while not following the US in reversing the course on climate and health action. Europe has to seize the opportunity to become global leader. Climate action will help to secure energy independence, increase competitiveness and deliver immediate health benefits for the population. This could be done by submitting ambitious National Determined Contributions and recognizing often overlooked health co-benefits of climate action.

⚠️ "Climate change is a risk amplifier that is starting to reverse decades of progress in public health." We are thrilled to be attending the Africa Health Agenda International Conference (AHAIC) this week, sharing the latest data on the connections between climate change and health in Africa. You can watch back our presentation from the Lancet Countdown's Executive Director Marina Belén Romanello, PhD now ⬇️
AHAIC2025 - Plenary 2 Title: Beyond Survival: Africa’s Plan for Evidence, Climate Policy Influence, and Local Leadership. Description: Climate change has evolved into a global crisis. As the rise in climate-related disasters such as floods, droughts and extreme heat trigger devastating disease outbreaks and negatively affect health outcomes, communities all over Africa find themselves increasingly vulnerable to a crisis not of their making–with little in the way of resources to mitigate its impacts. Addressing the climate crisis is a matter of survival for millions of people across the continent. However, it requires robust frameworks and funding for climate research and data collection to inform evidence-based policymaking that will support climate adaptation efforts.
