Center for Climate Change and Health Research (CCCHR)

Research Priorities of the Climate Change and Health Research Center (Preliminary Version Under Review)

1. Elucidating and developing methods, components, and indicators for adaptation, harm reduction, and preparedness against climate changerelated hazards within the health system.
2. Defining and developing effective actions for health response and rehabilitation in the face of climate change hazards.
3. Risk assessment and hazard mapping for climate changerelated threats.
4. Formulating and developing national programs related to the reduction of climate change hazards.
5. Establishing and developing early warning system infrastructure for climate changerelated hazards.
6. Modeling climate change hazards and their impacts on health.
7. Application of Artificial Intelligence in mitigating health risks associated with climate change.
8. Estimating population exposure levels to environmental pollutants.
9. Assessing the health impacts of environmental pollutants.
10. Investigating the shortterm and longterm effects of climate change hazards on health.
11. Analyzing the physical and chemical characteristics of airborne particulate matter and their health impacts.
12. Biological monitoring of environmental pollutants.
13. Designing equipment for the prediction, monitoring, and mitigation of climate changerelated hazards.
14. Proposing strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
15. Evaluating the performance of prediction, monitoring, and mitigation systems for climate change hazards.
16. Assessing the health impacts of macrolevel plans related to climate change.
17. Interdisciplinary studies on climate change leading to shortterm or longterm effects on public health (e.g., climate change and water crisis, agriculture, food security, urban architecture, etc.).
18. Designing and developing educational software, podcasts, and other educational materials related to climate change and health.
19. Climate change, health, and the youth population.
