Abstract
The notion of climate health refers to the multiplicity of health effects and risks posed by different dimensions of climate change. Climate health data are data that capture multiple dimensions of climate health, and that can be used, aggregated and mapped in order to tackle global health challenges. In this paper we use the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework to conduct a literature review on climate health data, focusing on their actionability in relation to global health challenges. Our literature review identifies themes of (a) early warning and emergency response, (b) assessment of planning interventions, and (c) preventive and future planning as central to research on climate health data. With this literature review, we frame climate health data as an object of interest for the IS field, exploring ways in which IS research can uniquely contribute to knowledge on the global challenge of climate health.
