Climate and Health

Building Evidence for Health-Resilient Communities

ARIN's Climate and Health focus area investigates the health impacts of climate change and builds evidence for health-resilient communities and systems. We examine how extreme weather, changing disease vectors, food insecurity, and environmental degradation affect human health across Africa and how health systems can be strengthened to respond.

Key Research Areas

Vector-Borne & Climate Diseases

Investigating how changing rainfall patterns, temperatures, and ecosystems affect the distribution and intensity of malaria, dengue, cholera, and other climate-sensitive diseases.

Health System Strengthening

Developing frameworks to build health system capacity, workforce resilience, and infrastructure to respond to climate-related health shocks and emergencies.

Environmental Health Policy

Generating evidence on the health impacts of pollution, deforestation, and land degradation to inform integrated environmental and health governance.

Key Themes
  • Climate-sensitive disease surveillance
  • Health system resilience
  • Nutrition and food security linkages
  • Mental health and climate stress
  • Heat health policy research
  • One Health approaches
