The epidemiological method in assessing human health risks in a changing climate
The project mission
The project mission
E-CHANGE, coordinated by the Department of Medical Sciences at the University of Turin, stems from the need to better understand how climate change affects population health and to develop innovative tools to assess its impact, using an interdisciplinary approach that integrates epidemiology, biostatistics, molecular biology, and climate science.
