The results show that despite the strong perception of climate change-related health risks, their implementation in corresponding protection and adaptation measures is insufficient in most of the daycare centers surveyed. The informedness of the pedagogical staff proved to be a ...
Solutions are in the works. In flood-prone Benin, national health insurance has been expanded to cover diseases likeliest to increase as the world warms and sea levels rise. In the steamy Philippines, programs are helping low-income residents manage weather-related risks with loans, hygiene educ...

3. Preparing for health emergencies related to or exacerbated by climate change To better prepare for climate-change-related health emergencies, health systems will need to focus on strengthening disease detection, disaster preparedness, and infrastructure against climate risks. This may entail enhancing ...

proposalto inform care with "community vital signs," or localized data that's related to nonmedical factors that affect health, which are also known as social determinants of health. They are now applying that concept to climate-related health issues by adding actionable data about climate risks...
2 This is well above the threshold for substantially increasing climate-related health threats.3 Thus, an effective strategy must provide long-term policies to reduce emissions, decrease vulnerabilities, and ameliorate negative impacts. The primary international response to global climate change is the ...
The International Aluminium Institute, an industry consortium, is sponsoring a project to help aluminum producers understand how to mitigate climate-related risks threatening the health of their employees. The institute identified adaptation options that include providing shade or cooling, outfitting workers...
2 Successful implementation of adaptation measures could reduce climate-related health risks. For example, urban greenspaces can reduce the urban heat island effect and improve physical and mental health.3 Strengthening health infrastructure and access to health care improve the resilience of vulnerable ...
