The TRIGGER project aims to delve into the complexity inherent in climate-health interactions to gather sound knowledge to advice on policy priorities at local and European levels in consideration of the projected climate change (CC) in Europe. Specifically, the project focuses on achieving a better integration between personal health protection and the environment in which choices at personal level can be made to mitigate climate-related health risks. To address this challenge, TRIGGER has envisaged activities in a wide range of disciplines (supported by the diverse expertise of its consortium) developed in several real-world environments to account for the diversity of climate and social, economic and cultural richness of the European continent. TRIGGER's engines are the Climate-Health Connections Labs (CHC Labs): five selected Labs built in European cities, strategically distributed from south to north Europe to capture the above-mentioned diversity. The role of CHCL is to act as hub for the various TRIGGER activities. Each represents a specific environment and climate-related risks ranging from heat waves to ai pollution. Each Lab co-design and implement clinical studies, namely the CrossCLAVIS (cross-sectional study), the LongCLAVIS (longitudinal study) and a retrospective study (RetroCLAVIS) to gather new information about climate-related health conditions and use refined climate and health indicators to understand criticalities and work on mitigation of those. In this presentation we report on the progress achieved so far. The focus will be on the methodology to derive meteo-climate downscaled data and to provide examples of improved estimate of health risks through a number of selected indicators. The specific indicators refer to those calculated at the CHCL level based on output of downscaled simulations and health data collected during the CrossCLAVIS study.
