Policy and Implementation for Climate & Health Equity (PAICE)
PAICE aims to inform and evaluate policies – both existing and potential – that contribute towards delivering a healthy net zero future in the UK.
13 September 2024
Policy and Implementation for Climate & Health Equity (PAICE) is a collaborative research effort between University College London (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê) and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), in partnership with the UK Climate Change Committee (CCC) and the Greater London Authority (GLA).ÌýWith a transdisciplinary approach underpinning its research, PAICE is:Ìý
- Engaging with stakeholders to develop shared priorities, a programme theory and linked monitoring and evaluation plan.Ìý
- Working with the CCC and GLA to analyse policy opportunities using system dynamics.
- Developing models to carry out cross-sectoral impact assessment. By considering connections between climate and health, the project evaluates potential effects on population health, health equity, and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Applying findings to the CCC mitigation and adaptation monitoring frameworks.Ìý
- Continually evaluating the project processes and objectives to improve and inform our activities and provide accurate advice to UK decision makers in a fast-moving policy landscape.
Through these activities, PAICE will help deliver informed climate action that promotes a healthy and equitable future.
