Flooding - Too much water
• increasing cases of drowning and other physical trauma;
• increasing risks of water- and vector-borne infectious
diseases;
• increasing mental health effects associated with
emergency situations;
• disrupting health systems, facilities and services, leaving
communities without access to health care when they are
needed most; and

Biological Amplification
A mere half degree centigrade increase
in temperature can bring about a 30 –
100% increase in mosquito abundance.

Summary
Increase of climate sensitive diseases

Same problems - changing patterns/frequency/

Proper adaptation measure can reduce the
