Sharing data on climate change, the environment and health

The interconnections between climate change, the environment and health are becoming increasingly apparent. WHO is gathering and sharing data to increase understanding of the health impacts of climate and environmental change while analyzing the co-benefits of various climate interventions. This data can be used to provide timely, accurate and strategic information to inform decision-making, guide advocacy, drive action, and track the impacts and successes of interventions.
