Adapting to climate sensitive health impacts: undernutrition

Overview

This guide presents a basis for understanding how nutrition, specifically undernutrition, is currently influenced by climate and weather, and may be further exacerbated by climate change. It is a technical guide on how to conduct a Vulnerability & Adaptation assessment for undernutrition and climate change, and provides guidance on how to:

• identify populations and regions vulnerable to undernutrition and the reasons for their vulnerability;
• establish 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.

This guide provides information specific to the analysis of undernutrition and climate change, and should be used in conjunction with the main  WHO Vulnerability & Adaptation guidance.
