Dr. Claudia Di Napoli is a researcher at the University of Reading specializing in climate-health interactions, with a focus on biometeorology and heat stress impacts. She serves as a key contributor to the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change , an international research collaboration tracking climate-health indicators across 44 organizations. Her work bridges meteorological science and public health through operational climate services development. Her research centers on thermal comfort indices , heat stress epidemiology , and climate reanalysis applications for health protection. Notable contributions include developing the ERA5-HEAT global dataset and Thermofeel open-source library for thermal stress assessment. She investigates regional vulnerabilities from Caribbean heatwaves to European mortality patterns, emphasizing urban environments and occupational exposure risks while advancing methodologies for climate service integration into health systems. Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals three dominant trends: (1) operationalization of climate data for health decision-making through tools like Thermofeel; (2) rigorous validation of reanalysis models against health outcomes; and (3) exploration of compound hazards (e.g., heatwaves concurrent with wildfires or pandemics). Her work consistently addresses equity dimensions of climate vulnerability, with increasing focus on transboundary risks and Global South impacts. Dr. Di Napoli actively collaborates with the World Health Organization, European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), and Global Heat Health Information Network.
