Integrated climate–health surveillance systems are another key adaptation strategy ( ''medium confidence'' ). This information can be used by the health sector to inform decision-making about when and where to deploy a public health intervention. It can also feed into an EWS, particularly if the data are compatible in format and spatiotemporal scales. An integrated climate–health surveillance system for vector-borne disease control was developed in southern coastal Ecuador through a partnership among the climate and health sectors and academia ( [[#Borbor-Cordova--2016|Borbor-Cordova et al., 2016]] ; [[#Lowe--2017|Lowe et al., 2017]] ). Additionally, an interdisciplinary multi-national team working at the border of Ecuador and Peru created a cooperation network for climate-informed dengue surveillance ( [[#Quichi--2016|Quichi et al., 2016]] ), and their successful binational collaboration resulted in the local elimination of malaria ( [[#Krisher--2016|Krisher et al., 2016]] ). A similar tool is innovative community-based data collection to understand and find solutions to rainfall-related diarrheal diseases in Ecuador ( [[#Palacios--2016|Palacios et al., 2016]] ).

Climate and health observatories represent a promising strategy that is being developed at sub-national, national (e.g., Brazil, Argentina) and regional levels ( ''high confidence'' ) ( [[#Muñoz--2016|Muñoz et al., 2016]] ; [[#Rusticucci--2020|Rusticucci et al., 2020]] ). The Brazilian Observatory of Climate and Health brings together climate and health information for the Amazon region of Manaus ( [[#Barcellos--2016|Barcellos et al., 2016]] ). At the national level, Brazil has created a climate and health observatory, where information and data visualisations are available for various climate-sensitive health indicators ( [[#Ministério%20da%20Saúde%20and%20FIOCRUZ--2021|Ministério da Saúde and FIOCRUZ, 2021]] ).
