What is Climate?

What is Climate?

Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Global Climate Change

Global Climate Change

Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Keystone Species

Keystone Species

Measures of species biodiversity, such as richness (i.e., the number of species present) and evenness (i.e., their relative abundance), describe an ecological community’s structure. Many factors affect community structure, including abiotic factors (e.g., sunlight and nutrients), disturbances (e.g., fire or flood), species interactions (e.g., predation or competition), and chance events (e.g., foreign species invasion). Certain species—such as keystone species—also play a pivotal role in the...

Principles of Disease Surveillance

Principles of Disease Surveillance

Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Microbes and Climate Change

Microbes and Climate Change

Microorganisms are pivotal agents in Earth's biogeochemical cycles, significantly influencing climate dynamics through their metabolic activities. These microbes modulate the levels of key greenhouse gases by both contributing to and helping mitigate climate change.Microbial Contributions to Greenhouse Gas EmissionsRising global temperatures accelerate microbial metabolism, which, in turn, speeds up the decomposition of organic matter. This process releases carbon dioxide (CO₂) through...

Investigation of Disease Outbreaks

Investigation of Disease Outbreaks

Multistate foodborne outbreaks pose significant public health risks and require meticulous investigation to identify sources and implement control measures. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) utilizes a dynamic seven-step process for these investigations, integrating data from laboratories, interviews, and environmental assessments to protect public health.Outbreak Detection: The detection of multistate outbreaks typically begins with PulseNet, the CDC's national laboratory...

Area of Science:

Environmental Science
Public Health
Veterinary Medicine

Background:

Climate change is linked to the expansion of zoonotic diseases.
Lyme disease cases have increased in Quebec, Canada.
Rising temperatures in Quebec are expected to affect zoonotic disease prevalence.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the Quebec Multi-Party Observatory on Zoonoses and Adaptation to Climate Change (the Observatory).
To outline the Observatory's functions and future plans.
To support risk management and climate change adaptation for zoonotic diseases in Quebec.

Main Methods:

The Observatory integrates public policy, human health, animal health, and environmental science expertise.
It functions similarly to the "One World, One Health" approach.
It serves as a platform for knowledge sharing and consensus building.

Main Results:

The Observatory was founded in 2015 under Quebec's Climate Change Action Plan.
It brings together diverse stakeholders including policymakers and scientists.
It aims to anticipate and prioritize zoonotic disease issues.

Conclusions:

The Observatory is a key initiative for addressing climate change-related zoonotic disease risks in Quebec.
Its multidisciplinary approach is crucial for effective public health strategies.
The Observatory's work will inform future risk management and adaptation planning.
