Description

The Health and Climate Change Country Profiles, developed in collaboration with national governments, are part of WHO’s monitoring of health sector response to climate change. The profiles summarize evidence of the climate hazards and health risks facing countries. They track national progress in addressing the health threats from climate change and highlight opportunities for gaining health benefits from climate mitigation action. The profiles provide an overview of key areas for taking action and provide links to available resources.

Over 80 countries have participated in the Health and Climate Change Country Profile initiative since it began in 2015. The profiles are organized in three separate series: the current 2021-2022 global series; the 2020-2021 Small Island Developing State series; and the 2015-2018 global series.

WHO’s monitoring of health and climate change is comprised of three main initiatives:

  • WHO Health and Climate Change Global Survey;
  • WHO UNFCCC Health and Climate Change Country Profiles; and the
  • WHO Health and Climate Change Dynamic Data Dashboard
