, for neglected populations , and where there are conflicting mandates or poor coordination across ministries . Barriers to adapting health systems to climate change include lack of institutional funding, staff and data access , inadequate resources for evaluation and management of adaptation , competing stakeholder goals and costly technology . Within the healthcare community, surveillance systems generally lack ways to integrate climate observation data, as well as expertise to critically evaluate these data, limiting their ability to plan and prepare for climate hazards and hospital-associated vulnerabilities . Although understanding of health vulnerability is growing , knowledge on the health effects of climate change among health practitioners remains limited . Mechanisms to ensure transparency and accountability of implementing, monitoring and evaluating adaptation within the health sector are lacking, across scales and contexts .
