Mental health and climate change in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Climate change adversely impacts the health and well-being of billions of people worldwide and will increasingly do so over the next few decades. Although all populations are at risk, some are more vulnerable than others. It is therefore critical to increase resilience to climate-related risks and build the capacity of national health systems by considering climate risks in health policy and decision making, strengthening leadership and governance to address impacts, and implementing strategies to build climate-resilient health care systems.
