灾害风险综合研究计划（IRDR）是国际科学理事会和联合国国际减灾署共同发起的一项联合国际研究计划，旨在应对自然灾害带来的挑战，减轻其影响，并改善相关的政策制订方法。復旦大学极端天气气候与健康风险互联和治理IRDR国际卓越中心于2020年10月成立，是IRDR第17个国际卓越中心，由復旦大学大气与海洋科学系/大气科学研究院牵头，公共衞生学院、环境科学与工程系、大数据学院、发展研究院等院系参与联合共建，重点开展气候变化、极端天气/气候变化、大气环境汙染风险与公共健康治理，以及多灾种风险互联、群症识别与一体化健康治理等方面的研究。CCOUC 衞生及社区抗灾力IRDR国际卓越中心成立于2016年11月，专注于灾害健康风险管理、气候变化与健康、全球衞生与人道医学、灾害风险感知、人类健康安全、以及亚太地区的灾害案例研究。
CCOUC Delegation Visited Sister Unit at Fudan University
Collaborating Centre for Oxford University and CUHK for Disaster and Medical Humanitarian Response (CCOUC) and Fudan University’s Integrated Research on Disaster Risk International Centre of Excellence on Risk Interconnectivity and Governance on Weather/Climate Extremes Impact and Public Health (IRDR-ICoE-RIG-WECEIPHE) conducted a half-day meeting at the Handan Campus of Fudan University on 1 December 1 2021 to discuss future cooperation plans between the two IRDR ICoEs. The CCOUC delegation is the first university team outside Mainland China to visit Fudan in 15 months. The meeting was held both offline and online, hosted by Professor Zhang Renhe, Vice President and Dean of the Graduate School of Fudan University and Director of the Fudan IRDR ICoE. Professor Zhang is also Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Dean of the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences/Institute of Atmospheric Sciences (AOS/IAS) of Fudan University. At the meeting, Professor Emily Ying Yang Chan, Director of CCOUC and IRDR ICoE in Health and Community Resilience (IRDR ICoE-CCOUC), Professor of JC School of Public Health and Primary Medical Care and Assistant Dean of Faculty of Medicine at CUHK, led a 6-person delegation, together with 2 online members, introduced the works of CCOUC and IRDR ICoE-CCOUC to 9 members of the host members. Professor Xu Tang, Executive Director of Fudan IRDR ICoE, and Professor Haidong Kan, Deputy Director of Fudan IRDR ICoE and Associate Dean of the School of Public Health, introduced Fudan IRDR ICoE and Fudan School of Public Health respectively. In the next two years, the two IRDR ICoEs will conduct exchanges and research cooperation, including co-organizing webinars and co-writing research grant proposals, to jointly explore research and education on climate change, disasters and health, so as to strengthen China’s contributions and influence in related academic fields and international platforms.
As the beginning of the cooperation between the two IRDR ICoEs, Professor Chan participated in the international Seminar on Air Quality and Health hosted by Fudan IRDR ICoE on 30 November 2021 and delivered a keynote speech entitled "Climate Change and Public Health". Professor Kan also participated in the 5th of CCOUC 10th Anniversary International Webinar Series on the theme "Health-EDRM and Climate Change" on 5 October 2021 and delivered a keynote speech entitled "Health Risk and Disease Burden of Weather/Climate in China".
IRDR is an international research programme co-sponsored by the International Science Council (ISC) and the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR). It aims to deal with the challenges brought about by natural hazards, mitigate their impacts, and improve related policy-making practices. Fudan University IRDR-ICoE-RIG-WECEIPHE was established in October 2020. It is the 17th IRDR ICoE. It is jointly developed in Fudan University by the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences/Institute of Atmospheric Sciences (AOS/IAS), School of Public Health, Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, School of Data Science, Fudan Development Institute (FDDI) and other departments, focusing on identifying the pattern of systematic risks, their interconnectivity and governance in the fields of climate change, weather/climate extremes, air pollution and public health. The IRDR ICoE-CCOUC was established in November 2016, focusing on Heath Emergency and Disaster Risk Management (Health-EDRM), climate change and health, global health and humanitarian medicine, disaster risk perception, human health security, and disaster case studies in the Asia-Pacific region.
