Not exact matches

The consequences of climate change are being felt not only in the environment, but in the entire socio - economic system and, as seen in the findings of numerous reports already available, they will impact first and foremost the poorest and weakest who, even if they are among the least responsible for global warming, are the most vulnerable because they have limited resources or live in areas at greater risk... Many of the most vulnerable societies, already facing energy problems, rely upon agriculture, the very sector most likely to suffer from climatic shifts.»

Determining which types of prevention to invest in (such as monitoring, early warning systems, and land - use changes that reduce the impact of heat and floods) depends on several factors, including health problems common to that particular area, vulnerable populations, the preventive health systems already in place, and the expected impacts of climate change.275 Local capacity to adapt is very important; unfortunately the most vulnerable populations also frequently have limited resources for managing climate - health risks.

Older people are at much higher risk of dying during extreme heat events.136, 50,241,233 Pre-existing health conditions also make older adults susceptible to cardiac and respiratory impacts of air pollution25 and to more severe consequences from infectious diseases; 257 limited mobility among older adults can also increase flood - related health risks.258 Limited resources and an already high burden of chronic health conditions, including heart disease, obesity, and diabetes, will place the poor at higher risk of health impacts from climate change than higher income groups.25, 50 Potential increases in food cost and limited availability of some foods will exacerbate current dietary inequalities and have significant health ramifications for the poorer segments of our populatilimited mobility among older adults can also increase flood - related health risks.258 Limited resources and an already high burden of chronic health conditions, including heart disease, obesity, and diabetes, will place the poor at higher risk of health impacts from climate change than higher income groups.25, 50 Potential increases in food cost and limited availability of some foods will exacerbate current dietary inequalities and have significant health ramifications for the poorer segments of our populatiLimited resources and an already high burden of chronic health conditions, including heart disease, obesity, and diabetes, will place the poor at higher risk of health impacts from climate change than higher income groups.25, 50 Potential increases in food cost and limited availability of some foods will exacerbate current dietary inequalities and have significant health ramifications for the poorer segments of our populatilimited availability of some foods will exacerbate current dietary inequalities and have significant health ramifications for the poorer segments of our population (Ch.
