--- attributes: ~ caption: 'Conceptual diagram illustrating the exposure pathways by which climate change affects human health. Here, the center boxes list some selected examples of the kinds of changes in climate drivers, exposure, and health outcomes explored in this report. Exposure pathways exist within the context of other factors that positively or negatively influence health outcomes (gray side boxes). Some of the key factors that influence vulnerability for individuals are shown in the right box, and include social determinants of health and behavioral choices. Some key factors that influence vulnerability at larger scales, such as natural and built environments, governance and management, and institutions, are shown in the left box. All of these influencing factors can affect an individual’s or a community’s vulnerability through changes in exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity and may also be affected by climate change.' chapter: description: ~ display_name: Executive Summary doi: 10.7930/J00P0WXS identifier: executive-summary number: ~ report_identifier: usgcrp-climate-human-health-assessment-2016 sort_key: 5 title: Executive Summary url: https://health2016.globalchange.gov/executive-summary chapter_identifier: executive-summary cited_by: [] contributors: - display_name: 'Scientist : John Balbus (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences) ' href: http://52.38.26.42:8080/contributor/20512.yaml id: 20512 organization: country_code: US display_name: National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences identifier: national-institute-environmental-health-sciences name: National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences organization_type_identifier: federal type: organization url: https://www.niehs.nih.gov organization_uri: /organization/national-institute-environmental-health-sciences person: display_name: John Balbus first_name: John id: 920 last_name: Balbus middle_name: ~ orcid: 0000-0003-3356-8332 type: person url: https://www.niehs.nih.gov/about/od/advisor/balbus/ person_id: 920 person_uri: /person/920 role_type_identifier: scientist uri: /contributor/20512 - display_name: 'Scientist : Janet L.
