*6.1.1 Commitment of each country to respect the recommendations of the Paris Agreement on Climate and Global Warming signed in 2016*

Predictions suggest that the average global surface temperature of the earth will experience, during this century, a sharp increase of up to more than 5°C and significant changes in rainfall patterns and climate variability [50]. Each country should strive to follow the guidelines of the Paris Agreement and promote research, either at the national or regional level. Research will benefit from finding innovative methods to analyze weather and climate in relation to animal and human health. To this end, it is important to establish data series over long periods of time to better understand the mechanisms of climate change and its interaction with animal and human health or disease occurrence, and to be able to develop early warning systems to predict outbreaks and extreme weather events such as intense heat waves and rainfall, the increased risk of drought, the increase in the strength and speed of winds and tropical cyclones in certain areas such as the Caribbean, including Haiti, and the accentuation of the El Niño phenomenon.

Such work requires a firm commitment not only from the main international organizations concerned such as WMO, IPCC, WHO, OIE, UNEP but also from each country to work towards the reduction of greenhouse gases and other pollutants and to follow the principles of sustainable development required for the survival of the planet and the recommendations of the various international meetings resulting from the Paris Agreement on Climate and Global Warming.

#### *6.1.2 An analytical approach to the impact of climate change on diseases*

Evidence suggests that diseases that occur following major weather events are also conditioned by factors other than climate. This requires the collection of a baseline data set and the use of appropriate analytical methods to quantify the climate's contribution to the expression of these diseases. This requires the establishment of functional and reliable climate and disease monitoring and surveillance systems.

#### *6.1.3 Climate change adaptation measures*

The effects of climate change are objective data on which we must act quickly to complement climate change mitigation measures in order to significantly reduce their level of impact on animal and human health. These measures could address the various factors that condition the vulnerability of human populations such as population density, economic development, local ecological conditions, health status and access to health care.

### *6.1.4 Fight against infectious diseases*

Infectious diseases, especially those of vector or waterborne origin, are very sensitive to climatic conditions. Therefore, there is a constant need to collect data on the prevalence and especially the incidence of infectious diseases to better address epidemiological studies. Only in this way will it be possible to establish any relationship between observed morbidity or mortality with a given climatic event. Multidisciplinary research teams should be formed and operate within a regional or international framework, as climate problems generally extend beyond the geographical boundaries of a single country [29].
