| Notes | "Policy-makers are increasingly concerned about the impact of climate variability and change on the health of vulnerable populations. Variations and trends in climatic factors and extreme weather events impact many health outcomes including malaria, heatwaves and undernutrition. Climate Information for Public Health Action is based on the premis that climate knowledge and information can help protect the public from climate sensitive health risks. With a focus on infectious disease, hydro-meteorological disasters, and nutrition the book explores why, when and how data on the historical, current and future (from days to decades) climate can be incorporated into health decision-making. Created as a collaborative effort between climate and health experts this book targets a broad technical public health community alongside development practitioners and policy makers engaged in climate change adaptation. It may also guide climate experts in the development of climate services tailored to health need"-- Provided by publisher Open Access Includes bibliographical references |
