Detection, attribution, and decadal prediction of climate change impact on health outcomes

Climate change impacts on health are increasingly apparent with regular exposure to intensive heat waves, surges and emergence of diseases, and mortality. Quantification of these impacts and tracing them to anthropogenic climate change has been difficult to measure but is essential in building evidence towards prioritising climate mitigation action. Onyekachi will present an overview of detection and attribution of climate change impacts on human health and its prospects on loss and damage calculations, risk assessment, and health system preparedness and response.
