This article represents the conclusion of updated German status report on climate change and health, which was jointly written by authors from over 30 national institutions organisations. The objectives are (a) to synthesise options for action formulated in report, (b) combine them into clusters guiding principles, (c) address success factors implementation, (d) target parameters.The individual contributions were systematically recorded categorised (n=236). Topical then formed with reference...
