How much does climate change really cost our health?

In many African regions, the answer is already becoming clear: rising temperatures, shrinking water sources, food insecurity, and the spread of diseases like malaria are putting intense pressure on health systems. These aren’t separate problems—they’re all deeply connected.

In our new article (with Walter Leal, Gouvidé Jean GBAGUIDI, Wassa Diarrassouba), we explored how climate change is driving up health costs across Africa. Using spatio-temporal mapping and a broad review of the literature, we show how these impacts are growing over time and space—and why it’s urgent to act now.

The Trump administration intends to terminate the United States’ financial support for #Gavi,
the organization that has helped purchase critical #vaccines for children in developing countries, saving millions of lives over the past quarter century,
and to significantly scale back support for efforts to combat #malaria, one of the biggest killers globally.
The administration has decided to continue some key grants for medications to treat H.I.V. and tuberculosis, and food aid to countries facing civil wars and natural disasters.
Those decisions are included in a 281-page spreadsheet that the United States Agency for International Development sent to Congress Monday night, listing the foreign aid projects it plans to continue and to terminate.

Trump is endangering everyone in the world. Without inoculations, disease spreads.
