摘要
Climate change will make the control of many climate-sensitive health determinants and outcomes more difficult. Because the health determinants and outcomes that are projected to increase with climate change are problems today, in most cases the primary response will be to enhance current health risk management activities. However, that is unlikely to be sufficient to address changing disease patterns and new health risks. Health policies and programs need to explicitly incorporate current and projected climate-related risks in order to maintain and enhance current levels of control.
