This is despite the fact that readily accessible, high quality climate data can be extremely useful to health planners, as they can help understand current distributions of some diseases – notably those involving a biological vector– and are fundamental to the accurate forecasting of future outbreaks. Moreover, an understanding of links between climate, societal changes and health can help in the prediction of the health impacts of climate change. Improved adaptive capacity is one potential outcome: a second is a firmer basis for quantifying the health costs of future climate change.
Hii ni licha ya kwamba data za tabia ya nchi ambazo ni za hali ya juu zinaweza kupatikana kwa urahisi na huweza kusaidia wanaopanga maswala kuhusu afya, kuwawezesha kuelewa zaidi jinsi magonjwa fulani yalivyogawanyika-sana sana magonjwa yanayosambazwa na vekta-na ambayo yanafaa kuweza kutabiri mlipuko wa magonjwa katika siku zijazo. Isitoshe, ufahamu kuhusu uhusiano kati ya tabia ya nchi, mabadiliko katika jamii na afya unaweza kusaidia kubashiri na kuwezesha kukadiri gharama itakayotokana na kuathiriwa kwa afya kwa sababu ya mabadikilo ya tabia ya nchi.
