Article Synopsis
- There is a significant lack of regional data on how climate change affects health in South America, which hinders the creation of informed climate policies.
- The study identified major gaps in existing research, focusing on the impacts of climate change on physical and mental health, exposure to hazards, and vulnerability factors within populations.
- Key findings revealed that climate change mainly leads to physical health issues like infectious diseases and mental health challenges such as trauma and anxiety, but overall research on this intersection is limited and fragmented.
