Human-induced climate change is causing widespread impacts on human health and well-being. However, the magnitude of these impacts varies among individuals, communities and locations, and is driven by a combination of vulnerability and exposure. For example, older people, children, people experiencing poverty, and those in bad health or living with disability tend to be more vulnerable to climate change impacts than the general population. In addition, people's ability to avoid, or cope with, climate hazards depends on their financial resources, extent of their social networks, home ownership, and other factors.
