A major review of the climate change impacts on health was produced in 1996, supported by WHO (McMichael et al., 1996). An updated report was produced in 2003 (McMichael et al., 2003) and the calculated “burden of disease” associated with climate change was published in 2004 (McMichael et al., 2004).
