How much progress have countries made on adaptation to physical health risks from climate change?

Physical health risks are changes in physical health and well-being due to climate changes, including respiratory disease.

Groundwork is defined as steps taken to prepare for and inform adaptation responses. This includes impact and vulnerability analysis, strategic planning, and decision-making processes.

Adaptation is defined as tangible steps taken to increase the resilience of communities, for example legislative action, public awareness programs, or infrastructure improvement.
