CLINF is a Nordic Centre of Excellence that operates under the NordForsk Joint Initiative on Arctic Research: Responsible Development of the Arctic, Opportunities and Challenges – Pathways to Action. It sets out to identify and investigate the effects of climate change on the geographic distribution and epidemiology of human and animal infectious diseases throughout the northern region, from western Greenland to eastern Siberia. CLINF studies such climate change effects on northern animal husbandry households in the light of socio-economic and managerial conditions.
CLINF turns new understanding regarding climate change effects on the geographic distribution and epidemiology of climate sensitive infectious diseases into practical tools for decision-makers responsible for the development of northern societies, both by providing relevant data in an accessible form, and by developing an early warning system for climate sensitive infections at the local level.
