Teema: Information required for EEA study on health and climate change adaptation: Estonia
To whom it may concern,
My name is Maya Fields and I am contacting you on behalf of Ramboll Management Consulting in the
context of a project we are implementing for the European Environment Agency (EEA).
Through the project, the EEA is seeking to develop an overview of public health policies in member
states which include climate change adaptation measures and planning for climate change impacts on
public health. This is part of the EEA’s mission to improve the knowledge base related to climate
change and health and feeds into the knowledge-base of the European Climate and Health
Observatory (please see here for more information).
We are reaching out to you in the hope that you may be able to share information on any relevant
public health policy documents or strategies which include mention of adaptation/planning for climate
change impacts of the health sector.
See the specific information we are looking for below. It would be very much appreciated if you would
fill it in to the best of your knowledge:

We would appreciate if you could share this information with us by Thursday September 30th.
We are happy to discuss this further should you have any additional questions.

***The European Climate and Health Observatory is a partnership between the European
Commission, the European Environment Agency (EEA) and several other organisations. The
observatory is part of the European Climate Adaptation Platform, the authoritative European platform
for adaptation knowledge whose main objectives are to share the knowledge base and practical
implementation experiences in the field of climate change adaptation, assist an effective uptake of this
knowledge by decision makers and contribute to a greater level of coordination among the relevant
sectoral policies and different institutional levels, as a contribution to the aim of the EU Adaptation
Strategy to support better informed decision-making for a more climate-resilient Europe. The
Observatory is fully in line with this new European framework. It supports and is aligned with
European and Member States' strategies for adaptation to climate change and aims to have a central
role in helping Europe prepare for and adapt to the effects of climate change on human health by
providing access to relevant information and tools. It also aims to promote information exchange and
cooperation between relevant international, European, national and non-governmental actors. This
tool launched with the new adaptation strategy aims to be enriched and developed in cooperation with
its partners and EU countries
