well as the human population, highlight the necessity of parallel implementation of measures to
adapt to impending climate changes. These measures involve greater financial assistance from
developed countries, the main emitters of greenhouse gases, to enhance adaptation capacities to
climate risks in the most vulnerable and least developed countries. The outcome of the negative
effects of climate change on human health will depend on reducing the exposure of vulnerable and
sensitive population groups to natural disasters, implementing interventions to adapt healthcare
systems to emergency conditions, developing early warning and response systems in emergencies,
as well as improving agricultural productivity, transportation, and food storage, building secure

water supply systems, microbiological monitoring, especially of zoonoses and vector surveillance,
while preserving biodiversity, particularly in rivers, lakes, and oceans, and ensuring infrastructure
security and energy supply while reducing poverty and promoting sustainable development in low-
and middle-income countries, as well as providing psychosocial support to the vulnerable, managing
migrations, and preventing local conflicts and wars.
