Important to highlight these impacts. Protecting seagrass protects climate, water, and health. #BlueAdapt #Seagrass #ClimateHealth
Video of seagrass devastation cut from David Attenborough's documentary 'Ocean!' 🌊 The clip of bottom-trawling fishing boats ripping up seagrass was deemed ‘too harsh’ for the public. The public wants to know the truth! Not a sanitised version ✊ thetimes.com/uk/environment…
🌍Climate change is reshaping coasts & increasing health risks. At BlueAdapt, we have been working behind the scenes to help policymakers protect public health and to empower communities to safeguard their health and ecosystems. Stay tuned—insights on the horizon. #OneHealth
⚠️What drives infection risk at the coast? It’s more than just pollution — it’s the system. 📊 Our new infographic unpacks the complex interactions behind disease risk using a clear, visual map. 🔗blueadapt.eu/resource/bluea… #BlueAdapt #OneHealth #ClimateChange

🌍Europe’s coasts face rising health risks from #pollution and #climatechange. At BlueAdapt, we connect ecosystems, society & health to guide better decisions. 🙌Stay tuned for new insights on building resilient coastal futures. #ClimateAndHealth #CoastalResilience #OneHealth
Great tips – and important reminder as Europe faces more frequent and intense heatwaves. 🔥 At BlueAdapt, we’re looking at how climate change affects health through water-related risks – from heatwaves to waterborne diseases and coastal hazards. Let’s stay cool and informed!👇
With heatwaves hitting Europe, make sure to protect yourself from extreme temperatures. Young and healthy people can also be at risk! #KeepCool with a few simple tips👇 bit.ly/4nrPP6c
Last week, @WHO_Europe launched the Pan-European Commission on Climate and Health (#PECCH) to address the growing health impacts of climate change across the Region. A key step to develop cost-effective, resilient health sector responses👇 who.int/europe/news/it…
As water temperatures increase, harmful pathogens — including antibiotic-resistant bacteria — may spread easier and stay alive for longer. BlueAdapt is investigating the impacts of #ClimateChange on coastal waters and public health. Learn more👇youtu.be/hPyHKf8gpl4
