註釋The effects of climate on human society and the ability to adapt to these effects are mediated by social factors including gender. This report provides a first review of the interactions between climate change, gender and health. It documents evidence for gender differences in both health risks that probably worsen by climate change. For example, natural disasters such as droughts, floods and storms kill more women than men. Other climate-sensitive health impacts, such as undernutrition and malaria, also show gender differences. The report also documents evidence for gender differences in adaptation and mitigation measures that can help to protect and promote health. The aim is to provide a framework to strengthen World Health Organization (WHO) support to Member States in developing health risk assessments and climate policy interventions that are beneficial to both women and men.
