Published in : 2007 Available in : English Since 1990, WHO has published a series of reports on climate change and has participated in review processes such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. These activities have outlined key characteristics of the health risks generated by a warming and a more variable climate. However many of the projected impacts on health are avoidable, through a combination of public health interventions in the short term, support for adaptation measures in health-related sectors such as agriculture and water management, and a long-term strategy to reduce human impacts on climate. This bulletin outlines these stategies and tries to raise awareness on the importance of public health interventions to mitigate the effects of climate change.
