How to Get Started
Description
The Infectious Diseases and Climate Change Fund (IDCCF) addresses the impact of climate change on human health in Canada by:
- increasing capacity to respond to the rising demands posed by climate-driven zoonotic (diseases that can be transmitted from animals and insects to humans), food-borne and water-borne infectious diseases
- ensuring Canadians and communities have access to timely and accurate information to better understand their risks and take measures to prevent infection
- improving adaptability and/or resiliency to the health impacts of climate-driven infectious diseases, through surveillance and monitoring activities and access to education and awareness tools, to enable:
- Health professionals the information they need to support accurate guidance and advice to their patients and clients on climate-driven infectious diseases
- Canadians and communities the tools to protect themselves from the health risks associated with climate-driven food-borne, water-borne and zoonotic infectious diseases
Priority Areas
-
Monitoring and Surveillance: Building baseline data to predict and respond to climate-driven infectious diseases better, by monitoring and analyzing the movement of infectious diseases, particularly in underserved communities.
-
Education and Awareness: Promoting the development, uptake and/or distribution of education and awareness materials for use by health professionals. Facilitating education, awareness and/or the dissemination of tools and best practices across Canadian communities and/or among vulnerable populations.
