Concepts for Burden of Disease due to climate change

Scientific Workshop in Berlin

Dates: 4 - 5 November 2025
Location: Robert Koch-Institut, Berlin

The 2-day expert workshop on the health impacts of climate change organized by GLOHRA members at the Robert Koch-Institute in Berlin focused on co-developing a conceptual framework for estimating the health burden of climate change using burden of disease (BoD) metrics. Topics included:

  • Direct and indirect health impacts of climate change
  • Risk factor attribution approaches
  • Data and modelling strategies under varying availability scenarios

We invited researchers and practitioners with a strong background in either burden of disease (BoD) methodology or the health impacts of climate change to express their interest in participating. We were particularly looking for individuals with experience in modelling, epidemiology, exposure-response functions, or similar expertise.
