Publisher: World Health Organization
This guidance document outlines the process for conducting a climate change and health V&A assessment for undernutrition.
It describes the steps for:
- identifying populations and regions vulnerable to undernutrition and the reasons for their vulnerability;
- establishing relevant baselines that can be analysed and monitored;
- conduct analyses to project how undernutrition may be impacted in the future due to climate change; and
- identify appropriate responses to mitigate and monitor these risks over time.
Intended users
Ministry of Health; researchers; anyone conducting a Climate Change and Health Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment where undernutrition was identified as a thematic priority during scoping and framing.
