Consultation on Health component of NAPs 3 |
Overview
WMO/WHO Joint office on health and climate
Data for vulnerability and adaptation assessment
(sensitivity analysis)
Health component of the NAPs
EWS for health (malaria, dengue, cholera, heat stress,
extremes)
EWS not always possible – issues with data availability
and quality
Consultation on Health component of NAPs 4 |
Some of the largest disease burdens
are climate-sensitive
Each year:
- Undernutrition kills 3.1 million
-Malaria kills over 600,000
-Diarrhoea kills almost 600,000 children
-Extreme weather events kill tens of thousands These, and others, are highly sensitive to a changing climate
Consultation on Health component of NAPs 5 |
Diarrhoea is related
to temperature and
precipitation. In
Lima, Peru,
diarrhoea increased
8% for every 10C
temperature
increase.
(Checkley et al, Lancet,
2000)
Increases in diseases of poverty
may be even more important
Consultation on Health component of NAPs 6 |
Health impacts are unfairly distributed
Cumulative emissions of
greenhouse gases, to 2002
WHO estimates of per
capita mortality from
climate change, 2000
Map projections from
Patz et al, 2007; WHO, 2009.

WHO, 2014.

Health progress should be tracked and monitored,
including effects from other health-determining sectors
Main GHG emitting
sectors (IPCC)
Industry
Energy supply and
conversion
Buildings
Agriculture
Transport
Annual deaths linked to
selected related risks (WHO 2008, 2009, 2014)
> 1 million occupational risks
3.7 million outdoor air pollution
4.3 million indoor air pollution
2.8 million overweight/obese
1.3 million road traffic accidents

Health needs
Need to strengthen collaboration between health and
climate sectors
Health sector needs to understand what the met services
can do… demand is given for granted at country level
Collaboration between Met services and health sector (as
client)
Strengthen quality of health data (collection, reporting,
communication)
