Abstract
COVID-19, climate change, and communities
Highlights
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic exposes most countries’ weak public health systems and poor preparedness for disasters
Populations most likely to experience negative climate change effects are those in low-income and middle-income countries, including those in small island states or coastal communities, Indigenous groups, and those in precarious economic situations
Village health workers were trained across the country to provide surveillance on COVID-19, and volunteers and community organi sations engaged in logistics management, surveillance, and delivery of essential items, ensuring that vulnerable populations were not excluded.[8]
Summary
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic exposes most countries’ weak public health systems and poor preparedness for disasters. The pandemic shows how and why communities must be engaged and empowered to respond, and to prevent and plan for adaptation to climate change.
