Winner or Loser? How can we assess th balance of the advantage and disadvantage effects of climate change? The number of overweight and obese people could be reduced by climate change effect on food availability and consumption, in this way, the excess death and disease burden decreased by climate change; by meantime, climate change also affects the production of the crops, which results the malnutrition and death in low and middle income countries. In the future climate scenario, climate change affects our society in different ways and different directions. Health priorities should be planed into the adaptive strateties.

Lancet 2006; 367: 859–69 Parry ML, Rosenzweig C, Iglesias A, Livermore M, Fischer G. Effects of climate change on global food production under SRES emissions and socio–economic scenarios. Glob Environ Change 2004; 4: 53–67. On-line—Question 2: comment about how the media present the issue. The articles addressed the problems happened in 3 low-lying pacific island nations, -Kiribati,Tuvalu and Maldives. For flood, drought and rising sea level, the final solution for the population in these countries is permanent migration. The media showed us the situation of the most vulnerable population to climate change. But what is the insight impacts of climate change？Climate change is not a local, but a regional and global issue. To deal with the crisis, each country in the world should take actions and responsibilities to cut greenhouse emissions and build up the resilience. second classmate post;- by Haria Lambrou - Monday, 12 September 2016, 6:51 PM Recall Reading 1.2, ‘Climate change and human health: present and future risks’ (5) an article published in the Lancet. It contains a discussion of the social, economic and political disruption from climate change and describes “a future world of regional winners and losers”. On-line—Question 1: Comment on this statement. The statement above highlights that some populations will be disproportionately affected due to the effects of climate change compared with others. Coastal populations for example, are more likely to be adversely affected by rising sea levels and people living in bushfire-prone will be ‘regional losers’ with heatwaves. Populations in tropical areas are more vulnerable to the spread of infectious diseases such as malaria and urban populations can experience the negative impact of climate change due to overcrowding and phenomena such as the ‘urban heat island effect.’ Within each of these regional risks also lies the further risk of factors such as age, gender and socioeconomic status. On-line—Question 2: Read at least one of the three following newspaper articles and comment about how the media present the issue. (ii) The Age, January 17, 2012. Ben Doherty, Maldives warns of climate refugees. Available at: http://www.theage.com.au/national/maldives-warns-of-climate-refugees-20120106-1poog.html The focus of this article is on the potential need for refugees to seek assistance from countries such as Australia due to the effects of climate change. The issue of refugees is quite political here in Australia and likely to evoke emotion and spark some debate. It presents a very bleak future for the Maldives and surrounding Pacific Islands as well as highlighting that the issue is not only going to affect local populations. The author has drawn the Australian reader’s attention towards how it will affect them more directly through an increase in the refugee population, which may increase the impact of the article.

International Journal of Public Health 2010; 55:123-132. On-line—Question 1: Describe the key elements of their framework? On-line—Question 2: Comment on whether this framework is comprehensive and ‘intelligible’ to a health professional. On-line—Question 3: Comment on the elements in the framework that are generic (i.e., apply to most health impacts and climate change). It may be helpful to review frameworks from previous Modules. fist classmate post;- by Haria Lambrou - Monday, 12 September 2016, 6:52 PM Recall Reading 7.2, Berry HL, Bowen K, Kjellstrom T. Climate change and mental health: a causal pathways framework. International Journal of Public Health 2010; 55:123-132. On-line—Question 1: Describe the key elements of their framework? The framework outlines the various ways climate change-related disaster can impact on mental health either directly through trauma but also indirectly through the effects on communities and physical health. The framework also includes a link between acute and sub-acute extreme weather events and specific types of mental illnesses. On-line—Question 2: Comment on whether this framework is comprehensive and ‘intelligible’ to a health professional. I think this framework is a comprehensive description of how mental health can be directly and indirectly affected by acute, sub-acute and chronic changes in weather. Some effects may not be as obvious as others, so this framework allows health professionals to consider the various pathways through which climate change can affect mental health. On-line—Question 3: Comment on the elements in the framework that are generic (i.e., apply to most health impacts and climate change). It may be helpful to review frameworks from previous Modules. The direct and indirect effects of climate change explored in this framework can be applied to most health impacts. For example, extreme heat events can affect people directly through heat exhaustion and indirectly through drowning. The consideration of effects on individuals as well as the community also has a generic application.

The framework including: Direct effects of climate change on mental health: psychological trauma, lose the sense of belonging, affects on physical health and community wellbeing. Indirect effects of climate change on mental health: Impacts via the physical environment, social environment and adaptation or mitigation On-line—Question 2: Comment on whether this framework is comprehensive and ‘intelligible’ to a health professional. This explanatory framework addresses the direct and indirect pathways of climate change on mental health. The framework is comprehensive which base on the literature review and the mitigation and adaptation strategies are compliance with the WHO pyramid. On-line—Question 3: Comment on the elements in the framework that are generic (i.e., apply to most health impacts and climate change). It may be helpful to review frameworks from previous Modules. This framework applies to the prevention of mental health by climate change．WHO’s pyramid for an optimal mix of services for mental health is relevant and can be adapted of climate change-related mental health problems.
