Abstract

This summary is an input to a larger piece of work by the Climate and Environment Division, in preparation of a cross-Whitehall International Climate Fund Board meeting in February 2011. Rather than being exhaustive, it intends to provide a brief overview of the available evidence to date.

The contents include:

  • An introduction to climate change and human health
  • Direct and indirect impacts
  • Key issues/hotspots (in regions of interest to DFID)
  • Adaptation strategies
  • Costs
  • Knowledge gaps
