Resumen
Descripción
Against the backdrop of a protracted
conflict, The Republic of Yemen faces complex
and multifaceted development challenges that demand the
country’s resources and attention. These challenges will
worsen if the country remains vulnerable to extreme weather
events and climate-related hazards. However, there is
potential for the country to build long-term resilience to
climate change and prevent current challenges from
worsening. The objective of this Climate and Health
Vulnerability Assessment (CHVA) is to assist decision-makers
with planning adaptation measures to deal with the country’s
climate-related health risks. This assessment includes
subnational considerations for health-related climate action
(see Annex A for the methodology), factoring in the country’s
21 governorates and one capital territory (see Figure 1). It
also incorporates data from a climate and health economic
valuation conducted by the World Bank to estimate potential
economic costs of health impacts arising from projected
changes in temperature and precipitation (see Annex B for
the methodology).
