Protecting Health from Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment of the Health Impacts of Climate Variability and Change in Nepal

Overview

This report describes the outcomes of a vulnerability and adaptation assessment of the health impacts of climate variability and change in Nepal. The study assessed: health- and climate-related public health policies and programs; risks of climate-sensitive health outcomes (including the most vulnerable populations and regions); and the relationship between climate conditions and health outcomes. From this assessment, recommendations are made as to how Nepal may improve the capacity of health sector to reduce the overall health impacts from climate variability and change.
