Sensitivity of health sector indicators' response to climate change in Ghana

Resilient futures of a small island: A participatory approach in Tenerife (Canary Islands) to address climate change

“…A few CC adaptation projects deployed focus groups to explore e.g., adaptation strategies for agricultural production ( Dumenu and Obeng, 2016 ), new indicators for building resilience against diseases ( Dovie et al, 2017 ), microfinance as means to foster adaptation for household livelihood ( Fenton et al, 2017 ), scientific communication to facilitate the adaptation of residential buildings ( Glaas et al, 2017 ), social issues grounding different responses to adaptation ( Sapkota et al, 2016 ), adaptation pathways in urban water supply systems ( Kingsborough et al, 2016 ), or adaptation frameworks for tourism destinations ( Wyss et al, 2014 ).…”

Earth System's Gatekeeping of “One Health” Approach to Manage Climate‐Sensitive Infectious Diseases

“…Diarrheal diseases which collectively describe cholera, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli , rotavirus, shigellosis, and typhoid is climate‐sensitive (Carlton et al., 2013 ; Dovie et al., 2017 ). Given that differences in ecosystems influence the feeding habits of different organisms to impose modifications to species and their behavior (Grimm et al., 2013 ), climate change brings additional burden to resource flow and energy levels within the Earth system that result in further modifications and expected to be different for different Ecosystem Types herein referred to as “Ecotypes” (Figure 2 ).…”

An institutional analysis to address climate change adaptation in Tenerife (Canary Islands)

“…It is known that engaging all the social actors involved in environmental issues brings potential benefits to the process, such as ownership of policies, better decisions in terms of sustainability, the inclusion of community values, governmental credibility and faster implementation (Giering, 2011). Inclusive approaches of social actors in environmental planning have been proven to be effective to deal with different climatic adaptation issues, such as coastal erosion and floods (Stocker et al, 2012), agriculture resilience (Dumenu and Obeng, 2016; Schaap et al, 2013), resilience against diseases (Dovie et al, 2017), residential building adaptation (Glaas et al, 2017), urban water supply systems (Kingsborough et al, 2016), adaptation frameworks for tourism destinations (Wyss et al, 2014) and grassland-based farming systems (Sautier et al, 2017).…”
