Abstract
Linkages between research and policy are determined by a complex set of factors, including how the issue is framed, how it enters the policy processes, and importantly, who supports or champions particular actions or types of interventions. The report documents how and to what extent climate change and urban, health, and agricultural concerns have been integrated, both in climate change specific policies and in respective sector policies. There is a need for more focus on gender‐sensitive approaches to interventions on climate and health in cross‐sectoral disaster risk reduction and preventive health strategies.
