Indigenous peoples' health and well-being in a changing climate

• Chapter 7, Box 7.1: Studies on climate change as it affects the health of Indigenous Peoples generally focus on non-displaced indigenous groups; that is, Indigenous Peoples maintaining culturally important elements of a land-based traditional lifestyle. Here we use an eco-medicine perspective in which the impacts of climate change on health are divided into primary, secondary and tertiary effects, as discussed below. Many analyses of indigenous health in relation to climate change use the One Health concept.
