Description:
Climate change will have its greatest health impacts on low-income countries. The effects of climate change on the natural and physical systems are giving rise to the risk malnutrition and water/food borne diseases and the prevalence of diseases through air pollution. The future of health impacts due to climate change will differ spatially and temporally, and will depend on the changing socio-economic and environmental conditions with possibilities of diseases to spread through the geographical range. This document makes a vulnerability and adaptation assessment of health impacts in the coming years.
