Climate Change & HealthPresented on 29th March,

2011@ CC Validation Meeting

Objectives• To collate information with regards to health

and Climate Change works being carried out and should include:– information on current programs that could be

complemented/enhanced by the PCCAPHH Project including institutional arrangements with regards to community based approaches

– determination of who is doing what and where including resource implications

– identification of existing community based approaches adopted by key stakeholders and drawing from opportunities and lessons learnt

DATA COLLECTIONSection 2

NDMO National level we are trying having people to be proactive

Wetlands Int.

1. doing all the science and field work &

2. organizing cross- sectoral engagement.

3. have the experience doing that.

1. have good health people there you 2. have a good cross-sectoral mix right

from the very beginning, 3. budget across organizations and

institutions is really difficult to do well.

4. how much cross over there really is between the sectors,

5. value to be added to that from working more closely together,

SOPAC 1. adaptation measures – we recognize that CC is happening

2. we try to plan for it in a risk assessment and a risk.

3. we look at CC As something that we should managed

1. strengthen the link with the Climate office, Meteorological office, NDMO,

2. behavioral change,3. a lot of existing issues are blamed

down on climate change, 4. people are leaving those behind and

are running after CC now


LPU – MPI 1. informal process, 2. only unit in MPI

1. management skills, 2. work with communities – depart and

it dies, 3. communities not aware of their

resources, 4. incorporate income generating

activities in their work

DoE Policy level (??? No policy!) 1. the pool of money that is available for projects to be implemented

2. application of models to predict CC

3. Revision of Drainage Act – include CC impact

2. the breadth and scope that CC and Health entails,

3. perspective of climate change to stakeholders,

4. Climate change projects not recognising the health effect,

5. the duplication of work and activities, 6. the opportunities missed, the

opportunities that could happen in the future,

7. the network and stakeholders that we can partner with to create more awareness on CC and Health, etc.

FMS 1. data, 2. science based, 3. expertise, 4. computing power

1. Improve robust communication/ system feedback,

2. there are skills, talents, out there that need to be pooled together

RECOMMENDATIONS1. Strengthen Health component

Human kind – 1 life CC affects health CC and diseases CC and places Adaptation & vulnerability

2. Formulate & Adopt a Evidence Based Climate change & Health policy

3. Networking of stakeholders

RECOMMENDATIONS4. Clear definitions - Climate change concepts5. Collaborate projects – with Clear objectives6. Involve the community 7. Baseline studies on CC in communities8. Lessons learnt – share findings and

methodology CC affects all, cannot be controlled, everybody’s

responsibility ALL TAKE PART

RECOMMENDATION

9. Stakeholders to identify the pressing: Priority CC issue in their organisation CC issue CC & Health issue

CONCLUSION • The major challenges in the climate change

health research in Fiji are:– lack of a cross-sector, interdisciplinary

collaborative approach in research and– inadequate budgetary allocation to health sector

and health research, – lack of awareness about the climate change and

its health hazards among the general populations.– deficiencies in surveillance system,

CONCLUSION• Understanding climate change and human

health requires: – locally relevant knowledge on climate change. – More resources are needed to provide climate

change information at a local scale. – POLICY FORMULATION – evidence based

• More research collaboration and sharing of data
