Malaria Consortium is pleased to announce the publication of an opinion paper exploring the impact climate change could have on global health.
This paper, Adapting to minimise the health impacts of climatic change, outlines some of the anticipated threats to the incidence, transmission and distribution of infectious diseases and how responses to climate-related risk can be incorporated into programmes.
As a leading technical organisation specialising in the prevention, control and treatment of malaria and other communicable diseases, Malaria Consortium recognises that climate change has the potential to affect health and disease outcomes for people across the countries in which they work.
Just one of the approaches Malaria Consortium is incorporating into their programmes to help mitigate climate-related risks is improving the surveillance and monitoring of malaria incidence by strengthening national and sub-national systems to better track disease transmission and respond to the impacts of climatic changes.
