“While there have been strong research programmes conducted in climate modelling and environmental science and conservation, there remains a gap in the research on climate and health in Singapore,” says Fornace. “What the programme aims for is to generate robust research findings, and to engage policymakers, the public and other stakeholders to disseminate and raise awareness of these findings.”
The National University of Singapore’s (NUS) Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health (SSHSPH) has announced a climate, environment and health programme to further interdisciplinary research in the region.
Unveiled at the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) Singapore Pavilion on Dec 1, the programme will be led by Dr Kimberly Fornace, visiting senior research fellow, and Associate Professor Yann Felix Boucher.
