Highlights

Climate change is adversely affecting public health; rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and changing diseases patterns are directly and indirectly impacting human health. Vulnerable populations, such as children, are at greater risk.

Evidence-based Data and Information on the Impact of Climate Change in the Health Sector in Indonesia analyses historical data on climate-sensitive diseases to generate evidence on impacts of climate change, particularly on children’s health. This comprehensive analysis provides evidence-based policy recommendations for further climate change adaptation policies in the health sector.
