Technical Series on Adapting to Climate Sensitive Health Impacts: Undernutrition

This guidance document outlines the process for conducting a climate change and health V&A assessment for undernutrition.

It describes the steps for:

1. identifying populations and regions vulnerable to undernutrition and the reasons for their vulnerability;
2. establishing relevant baselines that can be analysed and monitored;
3. conduct analyses to project how undernutrition may be impacted in the future due to climate change; and
4. 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.
