Climate-informed health information system consists of data on climate-sensitive environmental risks, hazards, and epidemiological trends collected, analyzed, and interpreted on a continual basis, and a timely response to risks promoted (WHO, 2023). https://iris.who.int/bitstream/handle/10665/373837/9789240081888-eng.pdf?sequence=1
Climate-informed health information system could include:
1. An integrated climate and health surveillance system for specific climate-sensitive diseases has been implemented
2. Early detection tools (e.g., rapid diagnostics, syndromic surveillance) used to identify changing incidence and early action identified and implemented
3. Climate-informed health early warning systems that predict the risk of outbreaks of priority infectious diseases (e.g, malaria, dengue, cholerahave been ) have been developed and implemented
4. Climate and weather information used to assess risk of outbreaks of climate-sensitive diseases (i.e., integrated health and climate surveillance systems)
5. Participation of the Ministry of Health in cross-sectoral groups receiving warnings on extreme weather events
6. Geographic and seasonal distribution of health risks and outcomes (e.g, risk mapping) tracked for priority climate-sensitive diseases
