Climate change is increasingly recognised as a major threat to human health.
But a new World Health Organisation report says investing in measures to protect people from its effects could also deliver substantial economic benefits.
The report estimates that six priority actions could save around 1.6 million lives every year, prevent 17 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions and generate trillions of Dollars in economic and fiscal benefits.
It also estimates that every Dollar invested could deliver $24 in benefits.
