Kristie L. Ebi | Climate Change and Health - Monday, May 2, 2022 - 2:45pm

Abstract: Climate change is altering the mean and variability of weather variables and is causing sea-level rise.

Future health risks will be determined by the interaction of the hazards created by a changing climate with the populations and regions exposed to those changes, and the sensitivity and capacity of those so exposed to prepare for and effectively manage changes in the magnitude and pattern of exposure. That is,...
