The #SPRINGSproject joined the Neapolitan Days of Health, Prevention, and Wellbeing in Naples! On October 26-27, the event brought neighbours together for free screenings and wellbeing resources. Thanks to the Municipality of Naples for organising this gathering! #ClimateChange

New research shows that combining weather data ☁️ with health info can help predict viral diarrhoeal disease. This supports the #SPRINGSproject’s climate-resilient health solutions. Learn how we can better protect vulnerable populations! 👉 bit.ly/4fsczhP

🌍 The The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change’s latest report shows the rising impact of extreme weather events. In 2023, 48% of global land faced extreme #drought, increasing risks of #waterborne and vector-borne diseases, and straining resources. Read more: bit.ly/3AHClQe 🌱 #ClimateHealth

🌎The The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change's 2024 report highlights how #ClimateChange drives more frequent and intense extreme weather. 📊From 2014–2023, 61% of global land saw increased #ExtremePrecipitation, fueling floods, #WaterborneDiseases, and infrastructure damage. bit.ly/4g75qUz

🌍 Climate change is increasing waterborne disease risks in Europe! In this #SPRINGSproject video, Laura Rinaldi & Ludovico Dipineto (Unina Federico II) explain their work in Naples, a case study site, detecting pathogens like Rotavirus & Giardia to address climate impacts. Watch now! 📽️

🎤 Meet Reina Sikkema from Erasmus MC! Reina leads #OneHealth virology research group & studies how climate adaptation & #NbS impact vectors, hosts, & #HumanHealth. Don’t miss her talk on NbS risks for urban health🌱 📅 5 Dec, 15h-16:30 CET 🔗 Register: idalertproject.eu/integrating-he…

#SPRINGSproject researchers visited #Haydom, Tanzania to better understand local #watersources and the risks they face 💧. The team worked on improving water safety and health through water testing and diarrhoeal surveillance 🏥. Read more: bit.ly/3OtX9y5

Happy New Year from the SPRINGS Project! As we welcome 2025, we’re excited for our second year: ✅ Describing water supply systems ✅ Priority-setting processes for interventions ✅ Developing a planetary health investment framework Here’s to a successful 2025! 🥂

🏠 Did you know your home impacts health? @jmcolston's study shows how durable housing materials reduce disease risk globally, especially in regions like sub-Saharan Africa. Better housing means healthier lives. Models developed are publicly available. bit.ly/4j5pn01

Dr. Benestad, a scientist behind the #SPRINGSproject used downscaling methods to show how climate change intensifies Nordic rainfall: 📈 fewer wet days, heavier rain,🌡️ emissions drive risks and 🌐 Norway's west & N. Finland most affected. Read more: bit.ly/3PAgKNA

🌍 Meet Dr Cyril Caminade! A climate & disease modeller at ICTP 🇮🇹, he’s advancing SPRINGS’ goal of understanding how climate change impacts waterborne diseases, aiming to provide valuable insights for Europe & Africa. 💧 🎥 Watch now! #SPRINGS

🌍 Last September, Dr. Rasmus Benestad presented the #SPRINGSProject at #EMS2024 in the “Weather & Well-Being” session, sharing insights on tackling #WaterborneDiseases in a changing climate. 🌡️ 📽️ Watch here: bit.ly/3E2qIEN #ClimateChange #PublicHealth

🌍 The Planetary Health Cluster now has a home online! This collaboration of 5 EU-funded projects—GoGreen Next, SPRINGS, TULIP, MOSAIC, and PLANET4HEALTH— shows how environmental changes affect health. Visit our website: 🔗 bit.ly/4aI6eh4 #PlanetaryHealth

Last week, SPRINGS researchers met across the Netherlands to advance climate-sensitive diarrhoeal disease surveillance. @jmcolston, from UVA School of Medicine worked with partners at RIVM, IHE Delft 💧 Institute for Water Education & Amsterdam UMC to align Plan-EO & SPRINGS. Collaboration drives impact! #ClimateHealth

Research shows that highlighting the #HealthEffects of #ClimateChange can boost public support for climate action. 🌍💚 Yet, many conversations miss this connection. What do you think is the percentage of climate-related content that actually mentions health? #ClimateHealth

Why aren’t we talking about climate change as a health crisis? 🌍🚨 Analysis of 2.4M posts shows just 3.1% mention health impacts, despite evidence of #ClimateChange affecting #PublicHealth. Health messaging can boost #ClimateAction. bit.ly/41mFD6g

💧 In Akuse, Ghana, SPRINGS explores how climate extremes affect water access and child health. Watch our video on the Ghana case study and learn more about our work in the field. #ClimateHealth #SPRINGSproject youtu.be/UyJ9ZJa1XxI

🎓 As part of her PhD in SPRINGS, Frederike Kooiman travelled to Ghana to help adapt diarrhoeal surveillance to local realities. 💧🌍 Read her interview to learn more about her research and role in SPRINGS: bit.ly/3TCCpa5

🔍💧 SPRINGS PhD researcher Patience Sihwa from RIVM, visited Akuse, Ghana, to assess water risks shaped by climate and sanitation. Using a Water Safety Planning approach, her work supports safer, more resilient drinking water systems. 📖 Read more: bit.ly/4liiXeV

🦠💧 SPRINGS PhD Aude Lemme (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (inactief)) is modelling how pathogens move through rivers. Fieldwork in #Ghana, one of SPRINGS' case studies, grounded her work in local realities, supporting efforts to understand and reduce #WaterborneRisks. Read more: bit.ly/4nHjybp
