Multidimensional vulnerability to dengue and diarrhea in the context of the climate crisis

The document outlines a transdisciplinary approach to mapping and mitigating health vulnerabilities in Peru's Amazonian regions, specifically focusing on dengue and diarrhea. It highlights the creation of a Multidimensional Vulnerability Index (MVI) and the implementation of community-led prevention strategies, emphasizing that health adaptation requires intersectoral responses to address deficits in water, sanitation, and waste management.

• The climate crisis is increasing the prevalence of dengue and diarrheal diseases in Amazonian territories, particularly where there are structural deficits in health services, sanitation, and water, especially in border areas.
• Health vulnerability is composed of social, environmental, and institutional dimensions, with the lack of waste management, sanitation, and safe water serving as primary drivers of disease transmission.
• Certain demographic groups, specifically children, older adults, and pregnant women, are the most impacted by these vulnerabilities.
