Ethical Framework Working Group

Ethical Framework for CSID Research is establishing guidelines that integrate scientific rigor with social justice, including indigenous knowledge systems and digital ethics.

The Ethical Framework for Climate-Sensitive Infectious Disease (CSID) Research Working Group develops practical ethical guidance and tools for researchers and Research Ethics Committees working on surveillance, modelling, and outbreak research under climate and environmental pressures. Building on prior climate-health ethics work led by the Africa Bioethics Network, the group focuses on:

• AI and digital ethics
• Community and Indigenous knowledge integration
• Equitable data governance and cross-border data use

How can people join or participate in WG activities: We welcome participation at different levels (core working group members, contributors to specific activities, and community-of-practice members). We particularly welcome researchers, REC members, AI/data specialists, community engagement practitioners, and policy or governance experts interested in ethical CSID research. Apply here.
