Barriers to climate change and health research in India: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Almost a quarter of the global burden of disease and mortalities is attributable to environmental causes, the magnitude of which is projected to increase in the near future. However, in many low- and middle-income settings, there remains a large gap in the synthesis of evidence on climate-sensitive health outcomes. In India, now the world's most populous country, little remains known about the impacts of climate change on various health outcomes. The objective of this study is to better understand the challenges faced in conducting climate change and health research in Puducherry, India.

Design and setting

In this study, we employed key informant interviews to deepen the understanding of the perceived research barriers in Puducherry. The findings were analysed usi
