dc.description.abstractExecutive Summary Globally, including in Nepal, climate change poses profound impacts on human health and wellbeing. The risks of vector, water - and food-borne diseases, respiratory infections, undernutrition, and mental illness has escalated. The most vulnerable and disadvantaged communities, such as women, the elderly, children, ethnic minorities, those who are disabled, and those who are destitute and displaced are disproportionately affected by climate-sensitive diseases (CSDs) and health risks. The elevated risk of CSDs is attributed to factors such as rising occurrences of climate induced-hazards and climatic extremes; increased exposure and sensitivity to these hazards and extremes; and lower adaptive capacity. In consideration of this, the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) has conducted a vulnerability and adaptation (V & A) assessment of climate-sensitive health outcomes and risks. This assessment is being supported by World Health Organization (WHO).en_US
