The elements of climate change that influence and impact on health & care, both in terms of the direct and indirect impact on mortality and morbidity, and the sustainability of healthcare globally are many. This webinar aims to bring that to life for health & care actuaries, starting with an update on the work of the Health & Care Climate Change Working Party, including a high level overview of areas for consideration. We’ll also signpost to some of the emerging climate change resources, and guides that are available for actuaries. This will be followed by two presentations covering our initial focus areas which are biodiversity, air quality, and temperature extremes. Climate change is understood to have a number of detrimental impacts on human health, some direct, some indirect. Nicola will present a summary of what is known so far. Bernd will explain how changing global patterns in heat and humidity are significant drivers of risk relating to human health and mortality, and highlight the need for more research in this area.
