In this example, consideration of health becomes important for the agriculture, water and disaster management sectors, with implications for the development of more cross-sectoral adaptation activities to address the health risks of the exposure and to develop measures to manage the risks.
Disaster management is another sector in which UAVs are playing a part.
In addition to the direct health and survival consequences of extreme weather events, many of the health risks associated with climate change arise less directly via pathways relevant to the agriculture, water and sanitation, transport, disaster management, planning and health sectors.
"We have a much longer way to go in strengthening agency coordination, engaging partners in capacity building to fill gaps in critical sectors like disaster management, aid procurement and common services", she stated.
Decision making for health often involves not just the health sector but also agriculture, water, disaster management, and others.
Automatic nowcasting of convective initiation and thunderstorms has potential applications in several sectors including aviation planning and disaster management.
Whether they help find water on Mars or utilize the Global Positioning System and mapping skills to conduct disaster management relief, every role is connected to the space sector.
This is particularly pertinent for adaptation activities to protect health because health is affected by many sectors that lie outside the direct purview of the sector itself – sectors such as water and sanitation, education, trade, agriculture, tourism, disaster management, development, and housing.
For instance, the Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN) mobilizes local governments, the private sector, NGOs, scientific experts, urban planners, and disaster management specialists to work collaboratively on urban resilience-building projects.
Apart from health sector efforts, a number of climate change and disaster management projects funded by international donors or non-governmental organizations (e.g. The Red Cross, CARE, and ADB) had been implemented.
