✳️ As we approach the end of 2024, it’s natural to reflect on the events of the past year. Taking stock allows us to analyse, learn, and often, be surprised. This year has been challenging and rewarding for the TRIGGER EU Project. We remain committed to deepening our understanding of the connections between climate, health, and ecosystems (using the exposome framework) and applying this knowledge to drive change at both individual and policy levels. 🍃 We recognise that addressing the ecological and health challenges posed by climate change is no easy task. Yet, there are reasons to remain hopeful. For instance, countries such as Albania, Bhutan, Ethiopia, Iceland, Nepal, Paraguay, and the Democratic Republic of Congo generate more than 99.7% of their electricity from renewable sources, including geothermal, hydroelectric, solar, and wind power—demonstrating that it’s possible to rely entirely on clean energy. 🦆 🌱 🍄 Furthermore, the commitment to biodiversity protection continues to grow, with six European nations pledging €130 million towards its preservation. Even the world of sports is contributing to the transition. This year, Oslo’s Ullevaal Stadium (Norway) became home to the world’s largest vertical solar roof, featuring 1,242 solar panels installed across its structure. These examples, among many others, inspire us to keep working towards the well-being of both people and the planet. ✨ From all of us at TRIGGER EU Project, we wish you a joyful holiday season and an excellent 2025 ✨

Understanding the linkage between climate change, human health and ecosystems to advance society's uptake.
Chi siamo
SoluTions foR mItiGatinG climate-induced hEalth tReaths (TRIGGER) Project aims to deepen current understanding of the complex linkage between climate (namely meteorological and climatic conditions), human health and ecosystems (exposome framework) and to use this knowledge in practice to advance society up-take at both personal and policy level. TRIGGER commits to an interdisciplinary consortium of 22 partners in 15 countries that will develop an outreaching clinical study composed of a multi-dimensional approach that also capitalizes on existing retrospective studies and will build an international climate service for global health protection in line with COPERNICUS initiatives. TRIGGER will create 5 newly conceived Climate-Health Connection Labs (Living Labs) in Europe to engage citizens, practitioners and policy-makers in a co-creation process targeting areas exposed to adverse impacts of climate change.

🌦️ 🧍♀️ 🌳 Health, ecosystems, and climate change are deeply interconnected, to the point where a mangrove plantation could reduce the risk of waves and rising sea levels endangering coastal towns. The following video shows various examples of how healthy ecosystems can reduce the negative impacts of climate change. 🎦 Watch: https://lnkd.in/ewcicZ6h

🫴 Collaboration is essential to our mission of advancing the understanding of how climate change, health, and ecosystems are interconnected. Cycle49r1 has introduced nine new parameters, providing deeper insights into thermal comfort and environmental conditions. These include the Heat Index and the Universal Thermal Climate Index, among others. Check out the latest ECMWF Users post to explore these vital parameters in detail. 👇📄
🌡️ 𝗖𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝟰𝟵𝗿𝟭 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 🌡️ We are excited to announce the addition of 9️⃣ new parameters to our forecasting products, all designed to provide a deeper understanding of thermal comfort and environmental conditions as they affect humans. The new parameters, calculated using the thermofeel Python library, include: 🔹Apparent Temperature 🔹Heat Index 🔹Humidex 🔹Normal Effective Temperature 🔹Universal Thermal Climate Index 🔹Wet Bulb Globe Temperature 🔹Wind Chill Factor 🔹Mean Radiant Temperature 🔹Globe Temperature 🚀 This milestone builds on the work already done in our TRIGGER EU Project (Solu𝗧ions fo𝗥 m𝗜ti𝗚atin𝗚 climate-induced h𝗘alth th𝗥eats) and the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S - Copernicus ECMWF) 📊 The first seven parameters are measures of environmental heat and cold as it affects humans. The mean radiant temperature is an ancillary variable from which the globe temperature is derived. 📅 The parameters are available from time step T+1 to T+90h at hourly intervals, from time step T+93h to T+144 at 3-hour intervals, and from T+150 to T+360 at 6-hour intervals. Forecasts are updated twice a day. 🌤️ The first set of five new parameters, including Universal Thermal Climate Index, Wet bulb globe temperature and Wind Chill Factor are already available on our ecCharts platform for easier access to the forecasters of all WMO National Meteorological Services. 🗺️ They are also publicly available in our Open Charts catalogue for the whole world for the first 6 days of the forecast. 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 ➡️ 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲! As part of our efforts towards more open and reproducible science, we have made the 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗣𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆 open source, so users can calculate the indices themselves in the same way we do. And not only these indices, but many more! 👩💻 Want to have a try? Visit the GitHub page: https://lnkd.in/eKqCmQjP 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿? These thermal indices are crucial for public health and safety, as they allow us to predict weather-related conditions that can affect well-being and offer actionable data on thermal stress. We see the growing need for forecasts that consider the negative impact of extreme heat and cold on human health! -- 🔗𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀: https://lnkd.in/eRi-APUf 🔗𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: https://bit.ly/48SihYb 🔗 𝟰𝟵𝗿𝟭 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲: https://bit.ly/3Z2zV89 🔗 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: https://support.ecmwf.int/
