Abstract:
This presentation will highlight the findings of this research and priorities for future research. In addition, it will highlight lessons learnt for health adaptation from the GEF-funded, joint UNDP-WHO-Fiji Ministry of Health-Fiji Red Cross Society implemented project titled "Piloting Climate Change Adaptation to Protect Human Health". WHO-DPSâ work on climate change and health is guided by resolutions from the World Health Assembly, the Regional Framework for Action to Protect Human Health from Climate Change in the Asia-Pacific region and the Madang Commitment, an outcome from the Pacific Health Ministers' meeting in 2009.
