Resumen
Descripción
Sierra Leone is among the most
vulnerable countries in the world to the adverse effects of
climate change such as extreme heat, droughts, wildfires,
and floods. High population densities and inadequate
housing, substantial economic dependence on agriculture, and
poverty and lack of socioeconomic basic needs in the
population, increases the risks in the face of climate
change. The objective of the Climate and Health
Vulnerability Assessment (CHVA) is to provide
recommendations to enhance health system resilience to
climate change, including health interventions and
strategies for adaptation in Sierra Leone as well as assist
decision makers in the country with planning effective
adaptation measures to reduce climate-related health risks.
