Global Public Health Assessment Reflective Journal 1b Question due week 11 (13%)
In a recent article by McMichael (2013) discussing the impact of climate change said:
“The mitigation of climate change is a crucial first-order task for the world. However, while governments continue to wrestle with this unprecedented, complex political and ethical task, the more immediate challenge for the health sector is to identify the main regional health threats posed by climate change and ensure the development of risk-lessening adaptations.” (page 1340).
