From Silos to Action: Translating Climate-Health Science into Community Resilience

Climate change is reshaping infectious disease risk faster than communities can respond. Critical scientific knowledge remains trapped in academic and policy circles, disconnected from front-line institutions.

This session introduces From Silos to Action, a One Health initiative translating climate-health research into accessible tools and community-centered strategies for resilience.

Climate & Disease Systems – Shifting ecology of infectious diseases: vector dynamics, zoonotic spillover, and climate-sensitive disease patterns. (Dr. Elliott Zieman, Eastern Illinois University).

Public Health Implementation – Why climate-health science fails at community level:policy gaps and implementation barriers. (Dr. Yazoumé Yé, CESMEL Health/ASTMH).

Environmental Policy & Climate Governance – Bridging energy policy, environmental compliance, and public health preparedness in the Global South (Chisom Nwali, Federal Republic of Nigeria).
