Tools and technologies to support health adaptation to climate change

O čem je ta razpis?

The topic funds consortia of public procurers that jointly procure the development of innovative tools for health adaptation to climate change through pre-commercial procurement. Developers and researchers take part by responding to the tenders these consortia launch.

Kaj ta razpis financira?

Scope

The topic supports Pre-commercial Procurement (PCP) projects in which consortia of public procurers with similar needs jointly procure the research and development of innovative solutions that help healthcare systems, communities and individuals adapt to the health risks of climate change. It contributes to the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change, which co-finances the topic.

Areas that can be addressed

• Geospatial technologies and decision-support frameworks that let local authorities and healthcare providers track and manage climate-related health risks at high resolution.
• Real-time risk surveillance, early-warning and monitoring tools for timely decisions.
• Technologies and solutions for climate-resilient healthcare facilities and services; general infrastructure works such as ventilation, construction or refurbishment are out of scope.
• Tools, procedures and solutions for health risk management, prevention and resilience in communities and occupational settings.
• Innovative tools that reduce exposure to climate-related environmental factors, which may include related factors such as air pollution.

How the procurement works

The topic does not fund developers, industry or research organisations directly; they can respond to the calls for tenders launched by the funded procurer consortia. Procurers should declare their interest in purchasing at least one successful solution, either within the PCP (as a fast-track PCP with budget for the purchase) or through a separate follow-up procurement prepared by a dedicated deliverable. Continuous dialogue with end users and the involvement of procurement decision makers are expected.

Expected outcomes

• Populations, public authorities and healthcare systems use innovative solutions to strengthen surveillance and prevention and reduce climatic and environmental health risks.
• Policymakers and public authorities implement environment, climate change and health policies supported by nearly fit-for-use solutions that can be scaled up.
