Tóm tắt

Madagascar's location and distinctive topography makes it vulnerable to climate-related hazards, such as cyclones, floods, droughts, landslides, and sea-level rise (SLR). Current and projected changes in climate patterns increase the likelihood of health risks that are sensitive to temperature and precipitation changes. This Climate and Health Vulnerability Assessment (CHVA) has been prepared to contribute to developing and implementing adaptation and mitigation measures that address climate-related health challenges. It aims to assist decision-makers by identifying the climate hazards, the health risks, and the adaptive capacity of the health system, as well as formulating recommendations to strengthen the health system's resiliency to climate change.
