Abstract

The consequences of climate change have become increasingly pronounced, especially when it comes to population health. Over the decades, different documents have been adopted at the global level with the aim of mitigating climate change and adapting to it. In this paper, we analyze the Paris Agreement and nationally determined contributions (NDC) of different countries in order to find an answer to the question of whether the health is recognized within the NDCs and if so in which way, how detailed. One section of the paper is devoted to NDC of Serbia. The results of our research showed that health considerations are not well integrated, or not integrated at all in some developed countries, while NDCs of small African countries represent good examples. In the paper we also gave suggestions for improvement and better involvement of health considerations in NDCs.
