Climate change and health detection and attribution: A Queensland case study

The University of Queensland’s School of Public Health has engaged Professor Kristie Ebi of the University of Washington to conduct three masterclasses on the approach of ‘detection and attribution’ of human-induced climate change impacts on human health. This is a powerful methodology that identifies where a change has been detected out of the normal range, and the attribution process examines the evidence to determine the influence of climate change on this detected difference. The project will deliver a publication on a climate-induced health case study from Queensland.
