- 8. Contd… Variation in climateor weather show that even small temperature increases and precipitation changes leads to malaria, diarrhoeal episodes, injuries related to floods, and malnutrition. Temperatures have been increasing globally for the past two to three decades. This climate warming is projected to continue and accelerate, so that by the end of this century, global mean temperature will have increased by 1.4–5.8 degree Celsius. 7/6/2018 ASLAM AMAN_MPH 8

CONCLUSIONS Effect of climatechange on health are predominantly negative and mostly effected in low income countries where capacity to adapt is weak but also on vulnerable group in developed country also. Climate change is already underway, so need to assess vulnerability and identify cost effective interventions /adaptation measures in health and other sectors that have direct link to human health. 7/6/2018 ASLAM AMAN_MPH 16
