Report
Climate services for health
This report examines the contribution of climate services to decision-making in healthcare, exploring barriers and enabling factors that shape implementation. It draws on a review of 45 existing studies and includes four country cases – Bangladesh, Colombia, Malawi and Senegal – to assess governance, leadership, stakeholder engagement, data integration and dissemination.
