	Invisible women: A gender analysis of climate-induced migration in South Asia Action Aid; CANSA; ICMPD; et al. (2021) CC View PDF(37) Download (23) Add to my MEDBOX New research exposes how women and children are disproportionally affected by climate migration, which puts them at greater risk of gender-based violence, child labour and exploitation.

	Fast Facts on Climate Change and Health World Health Organization WHO (2021) C_WHO View PDF(55) Download (25) 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.
