Abstract

In a Health Policy paper in The Lancet Global Health, Ruby Syal and colleagues provide a timely framework for research priorities regarding the impacts of climate change on the health of women and children in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).1 The application of the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative method identifies vulnerability mapping (2nd highest prioritised research question) and the integration of climate metrics into surveillance systems (3rd highest prioritised research question) as primary objectives.
