MOUNTADAPT
MOUNTADAPT is a Horizon Europe project aiming to boost the community-driven transformation of the health system in mountain areas.
About the project
The impact of climate change on people and the planet is becoming increasingly clear. More frequent extreme weather events are on the rise each year, and their effect on public health and health systems is becoming more and more evident.
Communities living in European mountain regions face different challenges. Decreased air quality, rising temperatures, increased extreme weather events and more intense heatwaves, and the increased risk of floods and landslides pose significant health threats, all while challenging the health systems’ capacity to respond to these risks.
MOUNTADAPT brings together expertise from 27 partners, including healthcare facilities, public authorities, innovators, and researchers. Together, they aim to strengthen health systems in European mountain areas to improve their response to climate change, while protecting people’s health and well-being from its impact.
MOUNTADAPT is a three-year Horizon Europe project running from June 2024 to May 2027.
