Celebrating the launch of DELTAS2 funding. IDeAL is one of 14 african-led consortia funded. Thanks @SciforAfrica @wellcometrust @FCDOGovUK @TropMedOxford @KEMRI_Kenya

Digital tools can help us predict & prepare for the disruptive effects of climate change on infectious diseases. 🌦️ 🦟
That’s why @wellcometrust is supporting @ManzoorHanifi @tafsirmmc @ziawadud @papiya_enhealth @icddr_b @UniLeeds @POLISatLeeds CholOut-EWS project

[Diarmid Campbell-Lendrum. @diarmidcl.bsky.social @DiarmidCL]

Your regular reminder that the fossil fuel industry gets US$11 million/minute in effective subsidies (IMF). That is more than all Governments in the world spend on healthcare.

Let’s stop giving polluters $110 billion a week, and fund our health services instead.

[Madeleine Thomson @madthomson]

ouch

[Scott Duncan @ScottDuncanWX]

Astonishing intensity of cold smashing through Canada and Northeast USA right now.

Mt. Washington in New Hampshire just recorded a windchill value of -109°F (-78°C), which sets the lowest windchill value ever observed in the USA (including Alaska).

This needs to get mainstreamed. And not only hand waving but real. World’s biggest investment fund warns directors to tackle climate crisis or face sack https://t.co/0RxA0S7KNM

[Prof Miranda Wolpert @mirandarwolpert]

We have deliberately made a long lead in to the application deadline to allow collaborations r.g. across geographies, between industry and academia.

We encourage bold proposals for MH awards and are committed to taking risks on potentially game-changing science @wellcometrust

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

It’s time to face the facts: climate change is happening, and we’re the cause. The impacts are far reaching and out our civilization at risk. But there’s still hope, if we act now. We CAN make a difference!

[Madeleine Thomson @madthomson]

Please take a look - we really need to make the climate impacts on health visible! health impacts of climate change are happening now and must drive faster, deeper, broader climate action.

[Madeleine Thomson @madthomson]

Wake up call!

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

Stop and think for a moment about this statement. It’s true. From here to that destination is unimaginable violence, in our lifetimes, as our food systems are shaken. Why aren’t there millions of people protesting on the streets?

[Dr Maria Neira @DrMariaNeira]

“A new study, the largest of its kind, found that people living in polluted areas were more likely to have more than one long-term illness. Researchers looked at more than 360,000 people aged between 40 and 69 who had health data in the UK”#beeathelife2030 https://t.co/k8koBunxNU
