CLIMATE CHANGE
A new consortium led by Dr Iain Marshall at King’s College London has been awarded £4m from Wellcome to develop an AI tool for generating the information needed to support policy and humanitarian responses to climate-change health emergencies.
The international project brings together investigators at King’s in the UK, Jigjiga University in Ethiopia, the Health Foundation South Africa, the World Heart Federation in Switzerland, and Northeastern University, Brown University and International Rescue in the US.
The team hopes the new tool will drastically reduce the time, effort and cost of producing the evidence needed to respond to climate-change health emergencies, improving decision-making and, ultimately, the lives of affected communities.
