Climate Change and Health

There is growing evidence that our climate is changing and that these changes are affecting the health and well-being of citizens in countries throughout the world, including Canada.

Health Canada is collaborating with researchers and decision-makers across the country and around the world to increase knowledge about how a changing climate can affect human health.

The Government is preparing for these changes by:

• increasing understanding the health effects of climate change
• assessing the health effects of climate change
• adapting to the health effects of climate change
• expanding knowledge, research results and partnerships
