Setting priorities for research on the effects of Climate Change on Health Outcomes and Systems

The project aims to identify priorities for research on the effects of climate change on health and health systems in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.

  • Planetary health

Study Purpose/Description

The impacts of climate change on health in New South Wales (NSW) span multiple dimensions, including direct health effects such as heat-related illnesses, injuries from extreme weather events, and indirect effects like worsening air quality, changing disease patterns, and decreased healthcare accessibility.

This study aims to identify priority research questions on:

  • Impact of climate change on health in New South Wales
  • Impact of climate change on health systems in New South Wales.

What’s involved?

Participation in this study involves completing brief online surveys that aim to identify and prioritise research questions regarding the impacts of climate change on health and health systems in New South Wales.

The study comprises two phases:

Phase 1: Participants will submit questions or topics they believe require further research. This survey takes approximately 5-15 minutes to complete, depending on the number of questions submitted.

Phase 2: Participants will rate the importance of various research questions identified in Phase 1 on a Likert scale. This survey will also take approximately 5-15 minutes.

The Join Us Register Acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands across Australia as the continuing custodians of Country and acknowledge the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of this land. We pay our respect to First Nations peoples and Elders, past and present.

We acknowledge and celebrate the knowledge and the strengths of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities and recognise their continuing connection to land and waters.

We thank the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and the many individuals, organisations that have supported and guided us through our journey.

There is a huge opportunity to partner more with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to build on existing community strengths and resilience, often in the face of ongoing inequities. Through Join Us, we will work together in the spirit of reciprocity to address ongoing impacts of colonisation so that we can all realise optimal health and wellbeing.
