UNEP is working to highlight the complex interlinkages between climate change and health through playing a role in linking health to the environment. Climate change threatens the basic
elements of life such as access to food, water, shelter and clean air, in turn severely impacting human health. UNEP aims to strengthen the ability of countries to integrate climate change
responses into their national development processes, both by helping them to build resilience to a changing climate, and by facilitating a transition towards low carbon societies, which would in turn have a positive impact on human health worldwide. |
