Climate change and health in Australia fact sheets

Doctors for the Environment Australia has developed fact sheets to outline the effects of climate change on human health particularly in Australia. There is a two-page "mini" fact sheet, and a four-page "full" fact sheet.

Some of the issues discussed include natural disasters framed by climate change (such as bushfires, floods, storms and cyclones) and how they affect health, as well as extreme heat, an increase in infectious diseases and mental health issues, and the effects of climate change on allergens, air pollution and food production.  There is a useful and very up to date reference list included on the longer fact sheet.

Links to the fact sheets are on the top right hand side of this page.
