Resumen
Descripción
Madagascar’s location and distinctive
topography makes it vulnerable to climate-related hazards,
such as cyclones, floods, droughts, landslides, and
sea-level rise (SLR). Current and projected changes in
climate patterns increase the likelihood of health risks
that are sensitive to temperature and precipitation changes.
This Climate and Health Vulnerability Assessment (CHVA) has
been prepared to contribute to developing and implementing
adaptation and mitigation measures that address
climate-related health challenges. It aims to assist
decision-makers by identifying the climate hazards, the
health risks, and the adaptive capacity of the health
system, as well as formulating recommendations to strengthen
the health system’s resiliency to climate change.
