Climate indicators summary worksheet

Delivering community benefit: Climate and health toolkit

Description

(Delivering community benefit: Climate and health toolkit) This climate health summary tool is an Excel workbook designed to help health planning staff and community members develop quantitative indicators of the likely health impacts of climate change in their local area. These impacts are driven by rising temperatures, air pollution changes, more severe weather, and increased ticks and vectors related to changing habitats. Health consequences with disproportionate affects on vulnerable populations are also highlighted. The tool gives users a relatively easy and self-contained approach to develop climate change indicator data.  Most of the required input data are provided in tabs within the workbook.
