About the Lan­cet Count­down in Euro­pe

Estab­lished in 2021, the Lan­cet Count­down in Euro­pe tracks the con­nec­tions bet­ween cli­ma­te chan­ge and public health across Euro­pe — dra­wing on the trans­di­sci­pli­na­ry exper­ti­se of 69 con­tri­bu­tors span­ning over 40 aca­de­mic and UN insti­tu­ti­ons. With the wealth of data in Euro­pe, the col­la­bo­ra­ti­on deve­lo­ps regi­on-spe­ci­fic indi­ca­tors to address the main chal­lenges and oppor­tu­ni­ties of Europe’s respon­se to cli­ma­te chan­ge for health.

This is the second indi­ca­tor report tracks 42 indi­ca­tors across five domains high­light­ing the nega­ti­ve impacts of cli­ma­te chan­ge on human health, the delay­ed cli­ma­te action of Euro­pean count­ries, and the missed oppor­tu­ni­ties to pro­tect or impro­ve health through health-respon­si­ve cli­ma­te action. The report is due to be published in the mor­ning of 13 May in the Lan­cet Public Health.

The Ger­man launch of the report takes place 23 May 2024 in Hei­del­berg, Ger­ma­ny, and online. To learn more, plea­se click here.
