SREX: Lessons for the health sector

The document introduces a thematic brief based on the IPCC's SREX report, which provides a scientific assessment of climate extremes and disasters. It aims to provide public health policy-makers and planners with guidance on why extreme events are critical public health issues, how they affect public health, and what actions can be taken to manage these risks to build a more resilient future.

• The SREX report, commissioned by the IPCC, represents the most comprehensive scientific assessment available for managing risks associated with climate change and extreme weather events, incorporating contributions from 220 expert authors and nearly 19,000 comments.
