Outline of Research at the Start

This study aims to comprehensively assess health impact of multiple climate-related disasters across a range of health outcomes;including mental health, water-borne, and vector-borne diseases in Asia. Collaborating with multiple countries, this study represents the first large-scale, multi-disaster health impact assessment in Asia. Leveraging extensive databases on disasters, climate conditions, and health outcomes, the project will provide critical insights for improving health emergency responses in Asia and contributing to a global understanding of the health impacts of climate change.
