Abstract

By the end of the century, global temperatures are likely to have risen by at least 2 Â°C compared with pre-industrial times. No nation will be immune to the resulting changes in the world's weather patterns and as international negotiations aimed at reducing future carbon emissions continue to have limited success, it would be rash for any country to fail to plan to meet the consequent challenges to their infrastructure and citizens. For Australia, one of the most important concerns is the health of its people. This report summarises the discussions and recommendations of a group of early- and mid-career researchers from a broad range of relevant disciplines who came together in July 2014 to consider climate challenges in relation to health in Australia.
