SPRINGS, a #HorizonEU project that Supports #Policy Regulations and Interventions to Negate aggravated Global #diarrheal #disease due to future #climate Shocks

👉 springsproject.eu
#COP30 started this week, and today is Health Day! 🌍

At SPRINGS, we see how climate-driven changes in water systems affect disease spread, highlighting the link between health and #ClimateAction. Healthy people are central to a healthy planet. Watch the live session: bit.ly/3WXhG2e

🌍 Today is #WorldEnvironmentalHealthDay: Clean Air, Healthy People. Air pollution threatens #PublicHealth, and #ClimateChange is amplifying its impacts. 💧 At #SPRINGS, we explore another side: how climate-driven shifts in water systems spread pathogens. #ClimateAction is health action.

🌍 Today is #EarthOvershootDay. In just 7 months, we’ve used up Earth’s yearly ecological budget. For the rest of 2025, we’re in environmental debt.

At SPRINGS, we study how ecological decline affects health, because this crisis isn’t just about the planet; it’s also about people. #MoveTheDate

🏜️ Today is #DesertificationAndDroughtDay
40% of land is degraded, worsening #drought and health risks. In the #SPRINGSproject, we explore how climate hazards affect water and health, and how local resilience can break the cycle. 🌱 Restoring land protects people and the planet.

🌍 On World Environment Day, let’s stop and listen.

Plastic pollution harms ecosystems and threatens human health.

Tackling plastic is key to protecting people and the planet.

It’s time to #BeatPlasticPollution.
