Efeitos das mudanças climáticas no Regime Complex de Saúde Global

Abstract

In recent decades, global health has been affected by a set of extreme events arising from climate change. In view of this, the health sector has received greater attention in international debates because there has also been a significant increase in the number of interested parties in this topic, and consequently an increase in resources directed to this sector. Thus, the work aims to analyze the impacts caused by climate change both in the complex regime of global health and in human health per se. In view of this, we specifically sought to: distinguish the concepts of International Regimes and Complex Regimes; identify what the Complex Regime is in the areas of climate change and global health; describe the impacts of climate change on human health; analyze strategies for mitigation and analyze how the World Health Organization deals with these issues. Therefore, a qualitative research was carried out, where there was a review of literature collected in relevant databases. In addition, reports collected in the databases of the organizations analyzed in this article. The research also indicates that urgent efforts need to occurs to prevent potential future obstacles, and in addition measures that put health at the center of public and social policies must be implemented. Therefore, it is important to consider the degree of vulnerability ofsocieties, as well as cultural and geographic factors, among others, so that protection and adaptation measures can be implemented, since climate change does not affect only isolated sectors, but cause a cascade of intersectoral disasters. Hence, it is recommended to foster cooperation between sectors, so that it is possible to reduce damage effectively and advantageously.
