Developing a climate change inequality health impact assessment for health services

Abstract

This paper presents a Climate Change Inequality Health Impact Assessment (CCIHIA) framework for health services to assess and address the unequal impacts of climate change on vulnerable and marginalised populations • The CCIHIA provides a process and framework to bring together stakeholders, decision-makers, and different types of evidence to assess, characterise and address unequal climate change impacts across multiple intervention points • The framework identifies different levels on which health services can act to reduce the inequitable impacts of climate change across populations
