Title [sv]
Främjande av lokal forskningskompetens, evidens och åtgärdsplaner för hälsorisker orsakade av ett förändrat klimat i Vietnam och Indonesien
Title [en]
Promoting local research competence, evidence and response strategies to health risks from climate change in Vietnam and Indonesia
Abstract [sv]
Climate change is a potent risk to health and wellbeing globally. In an international perspective, evidence exists that describe how poor health and fatalities relate to climate directly and indirectly. However, on a local level in low- and middle- income countries, including Indonesia and Vietnam, the evidence of climate change health impacts on communities is limited or totally lacking hindering adaptation efforts. Researchers from Umeå University have recently been involved in projects aiming to fill some of these research gaps in low- and middle-income countries. These efforts have gained significant international attention. We are for the moment looking for possibilities and funding to strengthen the collaboration with Indonesia and Vietnam to continue a recently initiated research collaboration. The proposed project focuses on generating local evidence of climate change impacts, and the need for adaptation and mitigation strategies in these two countries and to build local capacity through a north-south partnership. Suggested methods include development of courses, workshops, and research exchange. The project will also provide mentoring and economical support to facilitate publication of research in international scientific journals. The potential impacts from the proposed project have significant international as well as local value. We anticipate the proposed project would also help the effort to build a long-term and sustained international partnership.
