Throughout at least the past several centuries, El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has played a significant role in human response to climate. Over time, increased attention on ENSO has led to a better understanding of both the physical mechanisms, and the environmental and societal consequences of the phenomenon. In this paper, scientists review ENSO's impact on society, specifically with regard to agriculture, water, and health; they also explore the extent to which ENSO-related forecasts are used to inform decision making in these sectors.
