Resumen
Descripción
The purpose of the CHRI is to improve how climate change and health resources are invested: Over repeated measurement, identify how risk is shifting across geographies and time, keeping up with steadily deepening data on hazards relevant to climate-sensitive health issues and improving adaptive capacity due to public and private investment; Prior to in-depth assessments, determine the spatial distribution of risk, screen for areas to focus diagnostic resources, and assist in advocacy for adaptation and resilience spending in the health sector; Present a comprehensive view on risk to human health across climate change stressors and extreme events (shocks) complementing indices focusing on child health, disaster and humanitarian crisis, and other sub-domains.
