Cornwall Council, GB Climate Change and Health Tool

In Progress

Workshops with stakeholders like Cornwall Rural Community Charity and Public Health England shaped the tool's early development. Council officials and the University of Exeter are incorporating feedback into the proof of concept ahead of the COP26 conference in November 2021. Tool users will receive recommendations and estimated impacts based on local climate projections. The Climate Change and Health Tool produces reports customized to policymaking realities.

Cornwall Council and the University of Exeter: Climate Change and Health Adaptation Tool | Local Government Association

The Climate Change and Health Tool is an evidence-based resource to support public sector institutions, initially in Cornwall, but with the hope that it can be rolled out nationwide. The model will provide evidence for decision-makers to focus beyond short-term outcomes and understand the potential implications of climate change mitigation and adaptation on health and the subsequent impacts across a broad range of sectors and services.
