	Training Manual: Climate and Health International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA) (2016) C1 View PDF(127) Download (57) Add to my MEDBOX The project was developed by the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA), in line with the Federation’s statement “a world in which students are equipped with knowledge, skills and value to take on health leadership roles locally and globally so to shape a sustainable future”. This was supported by an ongoing and vital engagement from the World Health Organization (WHO) and their work the United Nations Alliance on Climate Change Education, Training and Public Awareness. The overall objective was to create a “all in one” type of resource to bring together climate change, health and youth advocacy Tags: Climate, Climate Change, Source: https://ifmsa.org/wp-content/uploads/201
	Climate and Health Country Profiles World Health Organization WHO (2022) C_WHO Open external link (72) Add to my MEDBOX 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 Tags: Climate, Climate Change, country study, Assessment, country profile, Source: https://www.paho.org/en/topics/climate-c
	WHO/ILO Joint Estimates of the Work-related Burden of Disease and Injury World Health Organization WHO (2022) C_WHO Open external link (506) Add to my MEDBOX In the spirit of the Sustainable Development Goals, WHO and the International Labour Organization (ILO) produce the WHO/ILO Joint Estimates of the Work-related Burden of Disease and Injury (WHO/ILO Joint Estimates). The WHO/ILO Joint Estimates quantify the population exposed to occupational risk factors and amount health loss caused by these exposures. Global, regional and national estimates are produced of the numbers of deaths and disability-adjusted life years that can be attributed to exposure to selected occupational risk factors. Estimates are produced disaggregated by sex and age group Tags: global health, Environment, planetary health, Source: https://www.who.int/teams/environment-cl
	State of the Climate in Africa 2020 World Meteorological Organization (2021) C2 View PDF(102) Download (76) Add to my MEDBOX Climate change triggers mounting food insecurity, poverty and displacement in Africa Tags: Africa, Climate Change, Environment, climate crisis, environmental health, poverty, Food Security, food insecurity, Displacement, Migration, Source: https://reliefweb.int/report/world/state
	Compendium of WHO and other UN guidance on health and environment World Health Organization WHO; UN Environment; UNICEF (2021) C_WHO View PDF(78) Download (58) Add to my MEDBOX Almost 25% of deaths worldwide could be prevented if the actions in the compendium were fully implemented This compendium provides a systematic compilation of published guidance from WHO and other UN organizations on health and environment. Guidance on policies and actions as well as awareness raising and capacity building interventions is presented for all major areas of health and environment. Guidance referring to priority settings for action such as cities and other urban settlements, housing, workplaces and health care facilities is also listed. For greater practical relevance, each guidance is classified according to principally involved sectors, level of implementation and instruments for implementation. The compilation of guidance for each area of health and environment or priority setting for action is accompanied, as available, by information on main sources, exposure assessment and existing guideline values. Important tools and further resources are presented alongside Tags: Environment, health action, Policy, Climate, Impact, health, risk factors, air pollution, Climate Change, chemicals, WASH, Radiation, Source: https://apps.who.int/iris/rest/bitstream
	The climate crisis is a child rights crisis: Introducing the children’s climate risk index UN Children's Fund UNICEF (2021) C_UNICEF View PDF(100) Download (70) Add to my MEDBOX Young people living in the Central African Republic, Chad, Nigeria, Guinea, and Guinea-Bissau are the most at risk of the impacts of climate change, threatening their health, education, and protection, and exposing them to deadly diseases. The report is the first comprehensive analysis of climate risk from a child’s perspective. It ranks countries based on children’s exposure to climate and environmental shocks, such as cyclones and heatwaves, as well as their vulnerability to those shocks, based on their access to essential services. Additional translations of the Executive Summary are available in the following languages, with thanks to Climate Cardinals: English, French, Arabic, Hausa, Portuguese, Spanish, Somali, Yorub Tags: Child Health, Climate, Impact, Climate Change, Source: https://www.unicef.org/reports/climate-c
	Resilience in a Riskier World: Managing Systemic Risks from Biological and Other Natural Hazards - Asia-Pacific Disaster Report 2021 UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (2021) C1 View PDF(35) Download (42) Add to my MEDBOX Since the start of the pandemic, the region has been hit by multiple natural and biological disasters. At the same time, climate change has continued to warm the world, exacerbating the impacts of many of these disasters. The Asia-Pacific Disaster Report 2021, also launched today, shows that the pandemic, combined with the persistent reality of climate change, has reshaped and expanded the disaster “riskscape” in Asia and the Pacific Tags: Climate Change, Natural disaster, hazards, natural hazard, COVID-19, biological hazards, Asia Pacific, Resilience, Source: https://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.in
	Climate change widespread, rapid, and intensifying – IPCC Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (2021) CC View PDF(32) Download (19) Add to my MEDBOX Press Release for the Working Group I contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report, Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis Available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanisc Tags: Climate Change, heat, simulations, Source: https://www.ipcc.ch/2021/08/09/ar6-wg1-2
	Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (2021) CC Open external link (293) Add to my MEDBOX The Working Group I contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report, Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis is now out (August 2021). The report addresses the most up-to-date physical understanding of the climate system and climate change, bringing together the latest advances in climate science, and combining multiple lines of evidence from paleoclimate, observations, process understanding, and global and regional climate simulations Tags: Climate Change, heat, simulations, Source: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/sixth-assessm
	Fast Facts on Climate Change and Health World Health Organization WHO (2021) C_WHO View PDF(53) Download (24) Add to my MEDBOX Climate change is resulting in poorer health outcomes, increasing mortality and is a driver of health inequities. However, health is well placed to be a significant part of the solution; the positive health impacts from stronger climate change action can motivate stronger global ambition; health systems which are resilient to climate change can help protect their populations from the negative impacts (in the short and longer terms); and sustainable low carbon health systems can make a substantial contribution to reducing national and global emissions. This fact sheet on climate change and health is part of the Climate Fast Facts series of the United Nations Climate Action team Tags: Climate Change, climate impacts on health, Source: https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/default-s
