Research summary

My research focuses on the relationships between the environment and health.

My main research activities are for the Lancet Countdown's Working Group Mitigation Actions and Health Co-benefits. The Lancet Countdown is a yearly report which focuses on the links between climate change and health https://www.lancetcountdown.org/
