Abstract | This chapter explores the impacts of climate change on health systems and the governance of service provision. It concludes that the risks to health of climate change will be incremental, increasing the burden of already occurring diseases like malaria and dengue fever, and increasing other major killers like diarrhoea and malnutrition. He contrasts the governance of the campaign against HIV/AIDS with health responses within the climate regime, which are fragmented, subject to special interests, uncoordinated, and in dire need of integration. |
