Maastricht University - UCV

Academic Institution 

The growing awareness of the health risks of the changes in the Earth's natural systems calls for further research into the interdependencies of linked human and natural systems. The causal links between environmental change and human health are complex because they are often indirect, displaced in space and time, and dependent on a number of changing forces. Current research at UM integrates and models the development of climate change solutions with health risks and other challenges for local communities. UM also models and analyzes local ecosystem services in combination with health effects. We do this through integrated modelling, GIS approaches and big data analysis. Obtaining a thorough and integrated understanding of this complex and still undervalued nexus nature-human, and critically evaluating suitable solutions, will be necessary in the coming years, and will form the core of this research cluster at Maastricht University.

Malaria No More

NGO

Malaria No More envisions a world where no one dies of a mosquito bite. More than a decade into or mission, our work has contributed to historic progress toward this goal. Now, we're mobilizing the political commitment, funding, and innovation required to achieve what would be on of the greatest humanitarian accomplishments - ending malaria within our generation.

To do that, we need to look outside infectious disease interventions only. Climate change is harming the world’s health more rapidly and severely than we ever knew, introducing new complexity to health systems around the world. The harmful effects of climate change on efforts to eliminate malaria have been evident for years. Rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns and extreme weather events complicate efforts to control the disease, and put many millions more at risk of illness and death.
