--- attributes: ~ caption: 'The diagram shows specific examples of how climate change has already affected or will continue to affect human health in the United States. The examples listed in the first column are those described in each underlying chapter’s Exposure Pathway diagram (see Guide to the Report). Moving from left to right along one health impact row, the three middle columns show how climate drivers affect an individual or a community’s exposure to a health threat and the resulting change in health outcome. The overall climate impact is summarized in the final gray column. For a more comprehensive look at how climate change affects health, and to see the environmental, institutional, social, and behavioral factors that play an interactive role in determining health outcomes, see chapters 2–8.' 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.
