  10. NATIONAL ACTION PLAN

  11. GOAL OBJECTIVE VISION 5 SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES 5 ENGINEERING INTERVENTIONS

  12. VISION, GOAL, OBJECTIVE Vision: Strengthening of healthcare services for all the citizens of India esp. vulnerable like children, women and marginalized population against climate sensitive illnesses. Goal: To reduce morbidity, mortality, injuries and health vulnerability due to climate variability and extreme weathers Objective: To strengthen health care services against adverse impact of climate change on health.

  13. FIVE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES Objective 1: To create awareness among general population (vulnerable community), health-care providers and Policy makers regarding impacts of climate change on human health. Objective 2: To strengthen capacity of healthcare system to reduce illnesses/ diseases due to variability in climate. Objective 3: To strengthen health preparedness and response by performing situational analysis at national/ state/ district/ below district levels. Objective 4: To develop partnerships and create synchrony/ synergy with other missions and ensure that health is adequately represented in the climate change agenda in the country Objective 5: To strengthen research capacity to fill the evidence gap on climate change impact on human health

  14. FIVE ENGINEERING INTERVENTIONS 1. Strengthen/ develop coordination for health related early warning and surveillance systems in specific areas (e.g. heat waves, floods, air pollution, ultraviolet radiation, vector borne, water-borne and infectious diseases) through an integrated disease surveillance system. 2. Automated Feedback mechanisms to agencies responsible for several ecological determinants of health particularly- air, water, food, fuel and human resource. 3. Development of risk maps for climate sensitive diseases for each geographical area. 4. Strengthening/developing response action based on new strategies or technological approaches to increase access, early health care advice/referral and health tracking system to assist surveillance and generate trends. 5. Undertake case studies and research and pilot test new approaches aimed at building health resilience in climatically sensitive locations.
