About the Observatory

TEAF-CHE Climate & Health Observatory (CHO) is a platform that brings together climate data and health data to help Nigerians understand how climate change is affecting their health. It serves as a central hub where communities, health workers, policymakers, and researchers can access reliable information, early warnings, and practical guidance.

Why the CHO Exists

  • To support decision & policy makers, health care workers and vulnerable communities in Nigeria in preparing for and adapting to the health impact of climate change by collecting, analyzing, and making relevant resources available
  • To build a robust & comprehensive understanding of the interactions between climate change and health and to develop evidence-based solutions that can protect the health of communities
  • Climate change is increasing heat, floods, droughts, air pollution, and disease outbreaks across Nigeria. These affect: Children under 5, Pregnant and nursing women, older adults, People with chronic illnesses, Low‑income and climate‑vulnerable communities. The CHO helps Nigerians answer important questions:Where are climate hazards getting worse? How are these hazards affecting diseases and health outcomes? Which communities are most vulnerable?
