Perú: cambio climático y enfermedades no transmisibles: ¿dónde estamos y a dónde vamos?
Summary
This research paper examines the intersection of climate volatility and noncommunicable diseases, arguing that Peru should implement mitigation and adaptation policies that generate health co-benefits to improve both public health and the climate system.
Key insights
- Developing countries are projected to bear 99% of the total health burden resulting from climate change.
- The author suggests that Peru's most effective approach is to develop mitigation and adaptation policies that focus on health co-benefits, which would simultaneously benefit the climate system and the management of noncommunicable diseases.
- The paper outlines Peru's greenhouse gas emission mitigation commitments and identifies public health opportunities under the Paris Agreement (COP21), while providing policy and evidence recommendations for the Peruvian government and the National Academy of Medicine.
