Climate risks have significant effects on public health including: injury, death, communicable diseases such as vector-borne and water-borne diseases, and non-communicable impacts such as malnutrition, heat stress and health effects of air pollution.
Kaum ein Jahr vergeht inzwischen, ohne dass von neuen Rekorden bei Extremwetterereignissen berichtet wird. Naturkatastrophen und Wetterextreme werden insgesamt immer häufiger und nehmen an Stärke zu – und der Klimawandel spielt dabei eine immer größere und zerstörerische Rolle. Wie schlimm di...e Katastrophen die Menschen treffen, wird jedoch nicht nur durch ihre Häufigkeit und Stärke bestimmt. Auch die „Verwundbarkeit“ der Länder und der Menschen gegenüber den Auswirkungen der Naturkatastrophen ist ausschlaggebend für das Maß der Zerstörung (IPCC 2012). Die Erfahrungen aus den vergangenen Katastrophen und die Vorhersagen für die Zukunft zeigen dabei, dass die verwundbarsten Länder gleichzeitig zu den ärmsten der Welt gehören. Um die schlimmsten Auswirkungen durch klimawandelbedingte Naturkatastrophen in den Entwicklungsländern noch zu verhindern, muss der Klimawandel soweit wie möglich begrenzt werden. Klimaschutz ist eine Voraussetzung für nachhaltige Entwicklung und eine Welt ohne Armut und Hunger.
