Did you know: by taking action on climate change you can strengthen public health

Description:

Put health at the center of the climate agreement is the rationale for this series of concise, readable WHO fact sheets to support adaptation in the health sector. Content and style of this collection of two-pagers are tailored to six different target groups:

  1. Finance ministers
  2. General public
  3. Health ministers
  4. Health professionals
  5. Local authorities
  6. Young people.

 

Each fact sheet offers a short summary about climate change, its impact on health and what the target group's members can do to help.
