The increasing frequency of extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, and heatwaves, and the direct impacts of changes in temperature have direct impacts on health. At the same time, broader environmental change affects infectious disease risk, air pollution, and other forms of exposure. The different ways in which climate change will affect health are complex, interactive, and different communities are disproportionately affected. International actions such as the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals recognise the future risks to society and acknowledge that we are already committed to a certain level of climate change. Future adaptation measures therefore need careful assessment and implementation for us to be able to minimise the potential risks from climate change and, at the same time, maximise the potential health benefits of a cleaner, greener world. This Special Issue comprises original research articles and detailed reviews on the likely impacts of climate change on health in a range of geographical settings, and the potential for adaptation measures to reduce some of these risks. Ultimately, studies like these will motivate policy level action for mitigation and help in determining the most effective methods of adaptation to reduce negative impacts in future through embedding scientific evidence into practice. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aheat-waves 610 $aheat-related mortality 610 $a2003 610 $a2015 610 $aclimate change 610 $aGermany 610 $aair temperature 610 $ahot days 610 $aheat waves 610 $acity 610 $aurban area types 610 $aPoznan? 610 $aPoland 610 $aambulance 999 calls 610 $aextreme weather 610 $aresource planning 610 $aLondon 610 $aUK 610 $aheat 610 $amortality 610 $aadaptation 610 $adwellings 610 $aindoor temperature 610 $acold days 610 $acold waves 610 $ahealth systems 610 $aclimate adaptation 610 $ahealth infrastructure 610 $arescue services 610 $aNorthern Europe 610 $adisaster risk reduction 610 $aSendai Framework 610 $ademographic change 610 $ainfectious diseases 610 $avector-borne diseases 610 $aaerosolized exposures 610 $apollen 610 $awell-being 610 $apublic health 610 $aland management 610 $apatient and public involvement (PPI) 610 $aland-use 610 $aEl Nin?o Southern Oscillation 610 $aENSO 610 $ahealth 610 $aclimatic variability 610 $aclimate-sensitive disease 610 $aworkplace 610 $aheat stress 610 $aproductivity loss 610 $abeta distribution 610 $aNorth Atlantic Oscillation 610 $aweather 610 $aemergency ambulance calls 610 $aexacerbation of essential hypertension 610 $aurban heat island 610 $aurban planning 610 $aheat resilience 610 $aclimate scenarios 610 $awaterborne disease 610 $anatural environment 610 $arisks 610 $acryptosporidiosis 610 $acholera 610 $aleptospirosis 610 $aLegionnaires' disease 610 $atrends over time 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aHeaviside$b Clare$4edt$01280353 702 $aHeaviside$b Clare$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557584003321 996 $aImpacts of Climate Change on Human Health$93016816 997 $aUNINA
