Between 2010 and 2012, the World Health Organization Division of Pacific Technical Support led a regional climate change health vulnerability assessment adaptation planning project, in collaboration with sector partners, 13 island countries-Cook Islands, Federated States Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Nauru, Niue, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu.We assessed vulnerabilities countries to impacts planned strategies minimize such threats health.This involved combination...
The increase in asthma incidence, prevalence, and morbidity over recent decades presents a significant challenge to public health. Pollen is an important trigger of some types asthma, both pollen quantity season depend on climatic meteorologic variables. Over the same period as global rise there have been considerable increases atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration average surface temperature. We hypothesize anthropogenic climate change plausible contributor asthma. Greater concentrations...
The MJA-Lancet Countdown on health and climate change in Australia was established 2017 produced its first national assessment 2018 annual updates 2019, 2020, 2021 2022. It examines five broad domains: hazards, exposures impacts; adaptation, planning resilience for health; mitigation actions co-benefits; economics finance; public political engagement. In this, the sixth report of Countdown, we track progress an extensive suite indicators across these domains, accessing presenting latest data...
Climate, weather and environmental change have significantly influenced patterns of infectious disease transmission, necessitating the development early warning systems to anticipate potential impacts respond in a timely effective way. Statistical modelling plays pivotal role understanding intricate relationships between climatic factors transmission. For example, time series regression spatial cluster analysis been employed identify risk predict temporal diseases. Recently advanced...
Urban populations are growing rapidly throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Cities vulnerable to health impacts of climate change because their concentration people and infrastructure, physical (geographical, material, structural) attributes built environment, ecological interdependence with urban ecosystem. Australia is one most highly urbanized countries in region its already variable set become hotter drier change. Climate expected increase morbidity mortality from thermal stress, bacterial...
Background While morbidity outcomes for major disease categories during extreme heat have received increasing research attention, there has been very limited investigation at the level of specific subcategories. Methodology/Principal Findings We analyzed daily hospital admissions cardiovascular (CVD), respiratory (RD), genitourinary (GU) and mental diseases (MD), diabetes (DIA), dehydration (DEH) 'the effects light' (HEAT) in Sydney between 1991 2009. further investigated sensitivity to...
The MJA–Lancet Countdown on health and climate change was established in 2017, produced its first Australian national assessment 2018 annual update 2019. It examines indicators across five broad domains: impacts, exposures vulnerability; adaptation, planning resilience for health; mitigation actions co-benefits; economics finance; public political engagement. In the wake of unprecedented catastrophic 2019–20 bushfire season, this special report we present 2020 update, with a focus...
The MJA–Lancet Countdown on health and climate change was established in 2017 produced its first Australian national assessment 2018. It examined 41 indicators across five broad domains: impacts, exposures vulnerability; adaptation, planning resilience for health; mitigation actions co-benefits; economics finance; public political engagement. found that, overall, Australia is vulnerable to the impacts of health, that policy inaction this regard threatens lives. In report we present 2019...
Climate plays an important role in human health and it is well established that climate change can have very significant impacts this regard. In partnership with The Lancet the MJA, we present inaugural Australian Countdown assessment of progress on health. This comprehensive examines 41 indicators across five broad sections: impacts, exposures vulnerability; adaptation, planning resilience for health; mitigation actions co-benefits; economics finance; public political engagement. These...
The MJA-Lancet Countdown on health and climate change in Australia was established 2017, produced its first national assessment 2018, annual update 2019, second 2020. It examines indicators across five broad domains: impacts, exposures vulnerability; adaptation, planning resilience for health; mitigation actions co-benefits; economics finance; public political engagement. Our special report 2020 focused the unprecedented catastrophic 2019-20 Australian bushfire season, highlighting that...
Many studies have shown associations between rising temperatures, El Niño events and dengue incidence, but the effect of sustained periods extreme high temperatures (i.e., heatwaves) on outbreaks has not yet been investigated. This study aimed to compare short-term temperature-dengue during different outbreak periods, estimate cases attributable temperature, ascertain if there was an association heatwaves in Hanoi, Vietnam.Dengue were assigned one three categories (small, medium large) based...
