Climate change and human health : present and future risks
TL;DR: The epidemiological evidence of how climate variations and trends affect various health outcomes is summarised and evidence and anticipation of adverse health effects will strengthen the case for pre-emptive policies, and guide priorities for planned adaptive strategies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the evidence on health impact is insufficiently implemented in urban planning and that transdisciplinary actions are required to bridge the science policy gap, and human dependence on healthy urban ecosystems must be brought to the agenda.

TL;DR: Fog day frequency was for the first time found to be a predictor of malaria incidence in a rain forest area and should be considered in the prediction of future patterns of malaria for similar tropical rain forest areas worldwide.

Si Heon Kim,Jae-Yeon Jang +1 more
TL;DR: In Korea, theincidences of the infectious diseases were correlated with meteorological factors, and this implies that the incidences could be influenced by climate change.

A globally coherent fingerprint of climate change impacts across natural systems
Camille Parmesan,Gary W. Yohe +1 more
TL;DR: A diagnostic fingerprint of temporal and spatial ‘sign-switching’ responses uniquely predicted by twentieth century climate trends is defined and generates ‘very high confidence’ (as laid down by the IPCC) that climate change is already affecting living systems.
