PHASE – Public Health Adaptation Strategies to Extreme Weather Events
Climate change is affecting the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, causing an unequivocal impact on human health. As extreme weather events cannot be defined within national boundaries, a cross national collaboration at the European level was introduced in order to harmonise strategies and policies.
Public Health Adaptation Strategies to Extreme Weather Events (PHASE) is a 3-year project (2011-2014), funded by the Executive Agency for Health and Consumers (CHAFEA) within the European Commission Health Programme (2008-2013). The project encompasses 8 European countries (Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and United Kingdom) and is coordinated by the Department of Epidemiology, Lazio Regional Service (Italy).
