UoM Climate Health Impacts Research – Mapping Refresh (2025)
The Climate CATCH Lab is currently conducting a mapping exercise to develop an up-to-date picture of relevant climate health impacts research activities being conducted across the University of Melbourne with a view to better connect and support researchers working in this area and promote and amplify our joint climate health research for greater policy and societal impact.
If you are currently conducting (or are planning to conduct) research focusing on any aspect of the full spectrum of human health impacts of climate change, we’d love to hear from you.
Project Aims
- To update the map of UoM climate health impacts research activities
- Identify researchers, current projects, publications and useful resources
- Identify key climate health impact areas addressed in UoM research
- Understand critical gaps and pressing issues
- Gauge research areas in which UoM has gravitas or strategic opportunities
- Inform future Climate CATCH Lab activities to better connect and support researchers, as well as promote and amplify research for greater policy and societal impact
So if you are a UoM researcher, postgraduate student, or affiliate, please send any information you wish to share about your ongoing climate health impacts research project, resulting publications, other useful outputs and resources to Lennart Reifels l.reifels@unimelb.edu.au and Shinn Hayasaka shinn.hayasaka@student.unimelb.edu.au by 13 July 2025.
If you are interested in and planning to become involved in this critical research area, please reach out as well.
In the first instance, we are compiling a map of UoM researchers, projects, and resources and we look forward to connecting with you and finding ways to support your work!
