#IDAlert is funded by the #EuropeanUnion

#IDAlert is important because as the climate is changing, some infectious diseases will (re-)emerge and spread.

IDAlert provides methods to monitor and
forecast the risk of climate-sensitive infectious diseases

For governments, health care professionals and individuals

@rafa_font A cartoon image shows a yellow and white Volkswagen van driving on a road. Inside the van, three animal characters are visible: one in the driver’s seat, one in the passenger seat, and one in the back. The background includes a mountain to the left and a city skyline to the right. Two speech bubbles appear above the characters. The left bubble reads 'Where do you want to go? Italy, Spain, Greece, Sweden, Germany?' The right bubble says 'Looking at the climate forecasts, they all look perfect to me.'
