Introduction
About Climate Change:Climate-sensitive illnesses are on the rise due to climate
change and extremes of weather either through direct or indirect impact. The United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its Kyoto
Protocol in 1997 refers to the international legal framework for the Climate change
process. The Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Convention meets annually to
negotiate and discuss the global climate change agenda and related commitments
from countries. Sustainable Development Goal 13 (SDG 13) emphasises “taking
urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.”
