Draft discussion paper
This paper aims to provide a framework for gendered health risk assessment and adaptation/mitigation actions in relation to climate change. It provides available information on the differential links between climate change and analyses the health of women and men through the perspectives of: (a) direct and indirect health consequences; and, (b) the possible interaction of biological and social risk factors in determining these impacts.
This framework is intended to support Member States in their activities to develop standardized country-level health risk assessments and climate policy interventions that are beneficial to both women and men.
