Climate factors, climate change, and their health impacts
Discover how climate change reshapes disease patterns and explore the links between weather variability and health risks in vulnerable populations.

OnlineDate
21 Jan 2026Time
11:00 - 12:00 CETPart 4 of the Advanced Webinar Series on Spatiotemporal Modeling of Climate-Sensitive Diseases.
This webinar examines how climate change is reshaping climatic patterns at both global and local scales, from shifting rainfall regimes to rising temperatures impacting health systems worldwide. Participants will explore the direct links between local climate and weather variability and disease dynamics, understanding how environmental changes drive health outcomes in vulnerable populations.
A key focus features Dengue as a case study, illustrating multiple pathways through which climatic factors such as temperature, humidity, and precipitation influence vector breeding, transmission rates, and epidemic risks.
Note: While open to everyone, this webinar series is targeting technically prepared participants with Python/R skills, epi/stats expertise, and motivation to develop or work with early warning systems for climate-sensitive diseases.
