Climate change effects on the epidemiology of infectous diseases and the impact on Northern societies (CLINF).
The rate and magnitude of climate change (CC) are greater in northern regions than elsewhere. CC is likely to push the geographic boundaries of climate sensitive infections (CSIs) northward, thereby increasing the potential for inhabitant humans and animals to be exposed to new and/or existing CSIs.
The Nordic research project “Climate-change effects on epidemiology of infectious diseases and impacts on societies” (CLINF) addresses these challenges, and aims to improve adaptive capacity, essential to ensure socio-economic development and viable communities in the changing North.
