Reports of Dengue virus infection are increasing. To find out more about this virus, watch this!

#ReadingNow: The European Environment Agency’s climate risk assessment released earlier this year joins the growing chorus of voices sounding an alarm on climate change and mosquito-borne diseases. Climate change is undermining the progress that much of the world has made in fighting mosquito-borne infections such as malaria and dengue, making it important for urgent action on both climate change and strengthening health systems to face the threats ahead.

A warming world could lead to at least 21 million additional deaths by 2050 from extreme heat, stunting, diarrhea, malaria, and dengue. And while there is a growing awareness of the impact that climate change has on health, there's a need for more action in countries. One key areas is working to ensure that accessing climate finance for health actors is more straightforward. Here's my dispatch from the Forecasting Healthy Futures summit in Baku, Azerbaijan: https://lnkd.in/dYWEePQU

#EcoSaludGlobal Tackling climate change and deforestation to protect against vector-borne diseases The spread of vector-borne infectious diseases is driven by a complex array of environmental and social drivers, including climate and land-use changes. Global and regional action is urgently needed to tackle carbon emissions and deforestation to halt future outbreaks. https://lnkd.in/eeVUZVAA

Mosquitoes🦟 are loving the heat 🔥 caused by climate change. This is causing a surge in dengue fever, a nasty illness that's already affecting 19% of the world 🌎. If we don't stop the planet from warming up, that number could skyrocket to 60% by 2050! #climatechange #denguefever #stopglobalwarming

A warming world could lead to at least 21 million additional deaths by 2050 from extreme heat, stunting, diarrhea, malaria, and dengue. "We need to be doing things. And by doing things, I mean, not announcing financial commitments, and not announcing plans or pilots — but together we need to be ensuring that countries are enabled to be actually doing things on the ground that impact where people are most at risk," said The Global Fund's Peter Sands on accelerating efforts to help countries adapt to the impact that climate change has on health systems. #globalhealth #climate

Did you know? Climate change is one of many threats to the global response to malaria. One more reason to take action for our communities and planet! #IbomairCSR #csr #sustainability #climatechange #malaria #FAMPact

🌡️🦟 Climate Change & Health Peru’s health minister resigned as the country faced its worst dengue outbreak in history in 2023, a stark indicator that we might be at the cusp of a troubling trend. Gracie Forrest highlights a critical aspect: climate change is accelerating the spread of infectious diseases, with vector-borne diseases like malaria on the rise due to warmer temperatures. How does it end? https://lnkd.in/ethqrqEY
