Health consequences of climate change interventions

Abstract

This year’s Climate Summit in Paris will consider two kinds of interventions: those to reduce the causes of global warming and those to help the world adapt to the effects. Summit participants are now negotiating who will contribute how much to the control of rising temperatures on the earth’s surface and protection of populations from the effects of global warming. Health effects are part of the discussions.
