Synopsis
Budi Haryanto of the University of Indonesia reviews expected global health impacts of climate change, and then outlines both direct and indirect health impacts specific to Indonesia. After setting out specific drivers of the climate change-health nexus in Indonesia, Haryanto summarises the range of current Indonesian research on health impacts. He then sets out adaptation issues and a method for approaching health adaptation assessment. Haryanto concludes by proposing a suite of adaptation measures, including health early warning systems; improved disaster response; capacity building for government, private sector, and civil society on managing prevention and control climate change on human health; empowering public health services system for disease prevention and control; and generating epidemiology and medical research to identify approaches for breaking disease transmission chains.
