A growing body of scientific evidence strongly suggests that climate change has enormous and diverse effects on
human health. Rises in temperature and sea level & extreme weather events such as floods cause water logging & contamination, which in turn exacerbate diarrhoeal diseases.

Information on health impacts can guide the development of integrated national and regional plans of action focused on concrete public health interventions. WHO is committed to working with its Member States in the South-East Asia Region to generate and synthesize a regional evidence base and to use it to promote integrated action at the country and regional levels.
