Assessing the links between human health, well-being and climate change is a new task for AR6, reflecting a broad perspective on health that increasingly acknowledges the importance of well-being and its interactions with individual and population health. The World Health Organization  defines health as 'a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity' . Although this chapter assesses physical health, mental health and general well-being separately, they are inter- connected; any type of health problem can reduce overall well-being and vice versa. For example, a child receiving inadequate nutrition may not be sick but is experiencing a clear threat to well-being that has implications for future physical and mental health.
