The HKU-Pasteur Research Pole is delighted to announce its collaboration with the Pasteur Network, in the framework of the Climate and Health Observatory Program.
Climate and Health: Introductionary Course
26 April - 3 May 2025
The course aims to introduce the Fellowship community to the fundamental principles and key topics related to Climate and Health while fostering an interactive and complementary network of fellows.
The Pasteur Network (PN), a global network of 32 institutes, aims to build a sustainable Climate and Health Observatory community. This initiative, which includes a fellowship program, represents the first step toward establishing a multidisciplinary Climate and Health approach within the Pasteur Network. The fellowship cohort is designed as a long-term strategy, with efforts, outputs, and activities developed by fellows such as leading communities of practice in climate and health policies, and producing sustainable common goods focused on long-term viability and impact.
Building strong relationships at national, regional, and global levels will be essential for achieving these goals. Fellows will form a cohesive and complementary community, supported regionally by a leading hub for the Climate and Health Observatory Accelerator Program. Given the complexity of climate change adaptation, the fellows will come from diverse disciplines, reflecting the critical need for transdisciplinary collaboration. However, operationalizing such research in the global South requires overcoming entrenched cultural and systemic barriers to participatory research. This initial training will address various aspects of the Climate and Health challenge, laying the foundation for meaningful and sustainable engagement.
