“…..This report highlights 11 key categories of diseases and other 
health consequences that are occurring or will occur due to climate 
change.

The purpose of this paper is to identify research needs for all aspects 
of the research-to-decision making pathway that will help us understand 
and mitigate the health effects of climate change, as well as ensure 
that we choose the healthiest and most efficient approaches to climate 
change adaptation. This way, the authors provide a starting point for 
coordination of research to better understand climate’s impact on human 
health.


The paper highlights the state-of-the-science on the human health 
consequences of climate change on:

·        Asthma, respiratory allergies, and airway diseases.

·        Cancer.

·        Cardiovascular disease and stroke.

·        Foodborne diseases and nutrition.

·        Heat-related morbidity and mortality.

·        Human developmental effects.

·        Mental health and stress- related disorders.

·        Neurological diseases and disorders.

·        Waterborne diseases.

·        Weather-related morbidity and mortality.

·        Vectorborne and zoonotic diseases (like malaria, which can be 
transmitted from animals to humans).

The report also examines a number of cross-cutting issues for research 
in this area, including susceptible, vulnerable, and displaced 
populations; public health and health care infrastructure; capacities 
and skills needed; and communication and education efforts. …”
