• Gender, Climate Change and Health (WHO Draft Discussion Paper)
  • Februar 2010
  • PDF, Englisch
  • The draft discussion paper offers available information on the differential links between climate change and the health of women and men through the perspectives of direct and indirect health consequences, and the possible interaction of biological and social risk factors in determining these impacts. The paper aims to provide a framework for gendered health risk assessment and adaptation/mitigation actions in relation to climate change. Such a framework is intended to strengthen WHO support to member States in developing standardized country-level health risk assessments and climate policy interventions that are beneficial to both women and men.
  • The draft discussion paper addresses: health impacts; social and human consequences of climate change, including migration and displacement, shifts in farming and land use, and increased livelihood, household and caring burdens; responses to climate change; and gaps in understanding and urgent needs to be addressed.

• Climate Change and AIDS: A Joint Working Paper by UNEP and UNAIDS
  • Dezember 2008
  • PDF, englisch
  • AIDS and climate change (CC) are two of the most important “long wave” global issues of the recent past, the present and the future. They share similarities, interactions, and present possibilities for a more united response. Yet these links have received little analysis. This paper seeks to address that gap. It first focuses on scientific issues, identifying major, minor, and speculative pathways by which AIDS and CC are likely to interact. These interactions are, here, called the HIV and Climate Change Complex (HACC).

• Sexual and Reproductive Health and Environmental Sustainability
  • Mai 2007
  • PDF, englisch
  • Preventing maternal mortality, improving health, enhancing gender equality and advancing sexual and reproductive rights are essential to reducing poverty and achieving sustainable development. All governments, including those wishing to address environmental sustainability, should pursue policies which will ensure universal access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health information, services and supplies.
