abstract="Extreme weather and climate events, such as heat waves, cyclones, and floods, are an expression of climate variability. These events and events influenced by climate  change, such as wildfires, continue to cause significant human morbidity and  mortality and adversely affect mental health and well-being. Although adverse health  impacts from extreme events declined over the past few decades, climate change and  more people moving into harm's way could alter this trend. Long-term changes to  Earth's energy balance are increasing the frequency and intensity of many extreme  events and the probability of compound events, with trends projected to accelerate  under certain greenhouse gas emissions scenarios. While most of these events cannot  be completely avoided, many of the health risks could be prevented through building  climate-resilient health systems with improved risk reduction, preparation,  response, and recovery. Conducting vulnerability and adaptation assessments and  developing health system adaptation plans can identify priority actions to  effectively reduce risks, such as disaster risk management and more resilient  infrastructure. The risks are urgent, so action is needed now. Expected final online  publication date for the Annual Review of Public Health, Volume 42 is April 2021.
