  • comparisons within countries as data are often collected at a national level → reliability of data for measuring HD remains a challenge
  • only reflects selected aspects of HD → doesn’t capture richness & depth of HD
89
Q

impacts of rising sea levels

A

forced relocation, reduction in availability of freshwater, reduced availability of food, changes in biodiversity

90
Q

how does forced relocation impact H+W

A

Relocation can strain existing infrastructure, such as safe water and sanitation services, housing, and healthcare services. This may lead to poor physical health and well-being.

91
Q

how does reduction in availability of freshwater impact H+W

A

Water scarcity can lead to increased poverty levels because people may have to pay large amounts of money to purchase clean water. The increased stress this produces may affect mental health and well-being.

92
Q

how does reduced availability of food impact H+W

A

Hunger and malnutrition affect physical health and wellbeing by reducing immunity to disease, contributing to micronutrient deficiencies, lack of energy and stunted growth in children.

93
Q

how does changes in biodiversity impact H+W

A

Rising sea levels and salinity has the potential to interrupt the entire ecosystem and threaten many of the systems that sustain life, impacting all dimensions of h+w.

94
Q

impacts of changing weather patterns & extreme weather events

A

more infectious diseases
inc BOD from CVD and asthma
inc homelessness
less food & increased hunger
less access to fresh water

95
Q

how does increased infectious diseases impact H+W

A

Physical health could be compromised, as an increase in the mosquito population could result in an increase in diseases such as malaria, dengue, and yellow fever and the spread of these diseases into previously unaffected countries.

96
Q

how does inc BOD from CVD and asthma impact H+W

A

during climate change, pollen levels fluctuate during periods of high heat and can trigger asthma, which already accountrs of a high burden of disease, therefore impacting physical h+w.

97
Q

how does inc homelessness impact H+W

A

Homelessness is a major cause of poor physical h+w, Without safe housing, the risk of injury and violence is increased

98
Q

how does inc hunger & malnutrition impact H+W

A

Mothers often have to care of sick children, which may reduce the time she can work in the fields to provide food for the family, increasing stress and impacting mental h+w.

99
