Climate changes and their impact on public health services are presenting officials with new challenges. The Klimzug Nordhessen project provides a framework for the development of suitable adaptation strategies to deal with climate changes.
The demographic and climatic circumstances in the region in and surrounding Kassel require a focus on the prevention of heat-caused morbidity and mortality among adults 75 or more years old. The Klimzug Nordhessen project assesses the feasibility of heat monitoring for city and county regions and collects data about the temperature-related comfort of older people. The main focus of the project is the development of prevention strategies for older people who live at home in climatic and demographic high-risk regions.
In the face of inadequate data, the current cooperation between science and practice seems to be an appropriate base for the development of verifiable empirical methods and instruments as well as evidence-based prevention strategies at the communal level.
气候变化及其对公共卫生服务的影响给官员们带来了新的挑战。北黑森州气候变迁项目为制定应对气候变化的适当适应策略提供了一个框架。
卡塞尔及其周边地区的人口和气候状况要求关注预防75岁及以上成年人因高温导致的发病和死亡。北黑森州气候变迁项目评估了城市和县域地区进行高温监测的可行性，并收集了与老年人温度相关舒适度的数据。该项目的主要重点是为生活在气候和人口高风险地区的居家老年人制定预防策略。
面对数据不足的情况，目前科学与实践之间的合作似乎是在社区层面开发可验证的实证方法和工具以及循证预防策略的合适基础。
