DESTINY

It is our moral obligation to protect people around the world against the climate crisis based on the best and most recent evidence available. This is a Wellcome-funded consortium on a mission to build the next generation of evidence synthesis tools driven by artificial intelligence to deliver rigorous living evidence in climate and health that matters to policymakers and other evidence users. DESTINY (Digitial Evidence Synthesis Tool INnovation for Yielding Improvements in Climate & Health) will co-develop a new generation of digital evidence synthesis tools (DESTs) and showcase their transformational power for the delivery of rigorous living evidence in climate and health that matters to policymakers and other evidence users. This defines who we work with, how we work, and the technology we use to make evidence synthesis dramatically more useful. In particular, our project will: Leverage recent AI advances to develop new DESTs, enhancing evidence synthesis by reconfiguring human-machine interactions (WP2); Engage in DEST evaluation to design safe and responsible applications without eroding methodological standards (WP3); Build communities of practice with decision makers around the globe and across scales to ensure DESTs are fit-for-purpose, work for all and are applied to six impact cases that matter (WP1, WP4); and Mainstream use of DESTs and support users, producers, and funders of climate and health evidence synthesis to establish best practices (WP5).
