As the year ends, we’re looking back at SPRINGS’ journey from plans to action in 🇬🇭🇹🇿🇮🇹🇷🇴. Together, we’re tackling water-related health risks & climate change to protect the most vulnerable. 💧🌡️

Thank you to our partners! Onward to 2026. 🥂🚀

#ClimateHealth #SPRINGSProject

Kicking off our #TeamSpotlight 🌍 Meet Hannah, former #PlanEO intern ➡️ now Knowledge Management Specialist! A #UVA med student, she’s driven by #GlobalHealth equity & supported our review on disease risk in rural life. Her work fuels #SPRINGSProject goals 🚀 #HealthEquity #PublicHealth #Episky

💧 In this #MeetOurPeople episode, @liviu-chelcea.bsky.social, social anthropologist at the University of Bucharest, shares how SPRINGS studies water, sanitation & land use in Romania to understand how #ClimateChange shapes waterborne pathogen risks. ▶️

🏜️ Today is #DesertificationAndDroughtDay
40% of land is degraded, worsening #drought and health risks. In the #SPRINGSproject, we explore how climate hazards affect water and health, and how local resilience can break the cycle. 🌱 Restoring land protects people and the planet.

Meet the @rivm-nl.bsky.social team 👋

They’re working closely with local partners in case study sites:
💧 Support the implementation of climate-resilient water safety plans
🔬 Carry out quantitative microbial risk assessments.

🎥 Watch to learn how RIVM is contributing to the #SPRINGSproject

🌍 #SPRINGSproject at #MeAVeAS2025

In Pisa, SPRINGS shared insights from our Italy 🇮🇹 case study, showcasing surveillance data and water safety strategies to tackle climate-linked diarrhoeal disease. A great space to connect veterinary, public health & environmental science.

Downscaling the probability of heavy rainfall over the Nordic countries Abstract. We used empirical–statistical downscaling to derive local statistics for 24 h and sub-daily precipitation over the Nordic countries, based on large-scale information provided by global clima...

Dr. @brasmus.bsky.social, one of the scientists behind the #SPRINGSproject used downscaling methods to show how climate change intensifies Nordic rainfall: 📈 fewer wet days, heavier rain,🌡️ emissions drive risks and 🌐 Norway's west & N. Finland most affected. Read more: bit.ly/3PAgKNA
