Steps in assessing vulnerability and adaptation
• Building on lessons learnt in assessments carried out;
• Equal wait to process and content, e.g. stakeholders;
• Building on a step wise approach;
• Building on/in risk management;
• Revise over time(WHO meeting in Victoria (2001)
and Geneva (2002))

The process
• Stakeholders• Management of the assessment• Levels of the assessment• Peer review• Communication and dissemination
![Page 9: Protecting health in an environment challenged by climate ...€¦ · Protecting health in an environment challenged by climate change: European Regional Framework for Action 19](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050410/5f86d8a16fdca3779d0c9b6b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Stakeholder involvement
INTEREST - how much interest you think the stakeholder legitimately has in your policy objectives, irrespective of whether or not they are aware of the policy/proposals or have any views on it
INFLUENCE - how much influence the stakeholder can exert on the Department's ability to deliver the policy or proposal and implementation of the objectives.
• INFORM• CONSULT• INVOLVE• PARTNER

Strengths
•Knowledge exchange;•Tackling existing health problems too;
•Broadens the scope of public health;
•International contribution;
Opportunities
•New alliances; •multi‐sectoral collaboration;

Requests from MS
• Which data do we need?• What resolution, frequency?• Give us the analysis protocol?• How can we get data from meteo free of
charge?• How good are they- a mass – years are
missing….• How do we work with scenarios ..• How can we estimate costs?• How can we make decisions under
uncertainty…

• 210 senior officials trained;
• 30 specific working groups established;
• International advisory board;
• A public health framework;
• Technical assistance

Problem definition
• What is the current burden of climate-sensitive health outcomes?
• How is the burden of climate-sensitive health outcomes likely to change over the coming decades?
• Who is most vulnerable? • What is the size of impact if no
action taken?• How effective are current activities?• What needs to be strengthened or
newly developed?

Prioritizing action
• Size of population at risk of harm• Likelihood of the harm• Timescale of risk: short/medium/long-
term (S/M/L)
• Identification of interventions:– Legal, behavioural, institutional,
informational….
![Page 23: Protecting health in an environment challenged by climate ...€¦ · Protecting health in an environment challenged by climate change: European Regional Framework for Action 19](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050410/5f86d8a16fdca3779d0c9b6b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Protecting health in an environment challenged by climate change: European Regional Framework for Action
23
Prioritizing action
Governance:• Are existing institutional
mechanisms in place?• If yes: What is the current
coverage?• What can be newly
developed within existing structures or strengthened?
• Which new mechanisms need to be put in place?
• Short-long term feasibility?
Criteria for prioritizing action– Feasibility– Barriers– Cost-
benefits/effectiveness– Opportunities– Size of population that
benefits– Environmental, social
and economic benefits– Potential harm
