Higher ambient temperatures and heat waves lead to higher incidences of occupational heat-related illnesses and injuries among the workforce, including heat exhaustion, heat stroke, accidents, acute kidney injury, and subsequent fatal chronic kidney […]

Promoting evidence informed policymaking on the climate and health nexus: Insights into two policy research projects

H 0112

In recent years, there has been increasing research on and attention for the climate-health nexus. There is no longer a lack of scientific evidence on the impacts of climate change on human health, wellbeing and vice versa. However, the available knowledge is not yet sufficiently applied and integrated into policymaking. To date, health policies remain […]

Lessons learned from randomized controlled experiments for energy and climate

H 0107

Over the past 10 years, we have run over 10 large-scale field experiments with randomized counterfactuals focused on climate and energy.
