Challenges of climate change curriculum
integration.
• However, it is not possible to prescribe asingle climate change curriculum that will
have international applicability. (inequality).
Climate change health impacts will be
influenced by pre-existing health status andsocial conditions, as well as exposure,
adaptive capacity and sensitivity to climatechange.
• An added complexity is the uncertainty
around regionally specific and disease
specific climate change risks.13 Althoughsome risks exhibit clear international
trends, such as an increase in frequency
and intensity of heatwaves, other risks,such as the distribution of infectious
disease, are less predictable. A climatechange curriculum therefore needs toevolve with emerging evidence and local
needs.
