The document discusses how climate change can impact health through various pathways. It mentions that climate change can lead to regional weather changes like heatwaves and extreme weather. This in turn influences health through temperature changes, changes in precipitation, and effects on transmission of diseases. Climate change may also impact ecosystems, hydrology, food production, conflicts and health infrastructure. Specific health impacts mentioned include diarrhea, malaria, malnutrition and other infectious diseases. The document provides data on disease burden from these climate-sensitive health outcomes and how they are projected to change in the future. It outlines climate change as being driven by population, development and greenhouse gas emissions and the need for adaptation and mitigation measures.
