About the theme
Climate change already contributes significantly to the global burden of disease and its health effects are projected to increase in all countries and regions. Throughout the 21st century, governmental and societal choices on reducing greenhouse gas emissions (mitigation) and preparing for and managing the current and projected consequences of a changing climate (adaptation) will affect the health and well-being of all people. It is crucial that those choices and related measures are decisive and based on the best available evidence.
