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.
Investigating how changing rainfall patterns, temperatures, and ecosystems affect the distribution and intensity of malaria, dengue, cholera, and other climate-sensitive diseases.
Developing frameworks to build health system capacity, workforce resilience, and infrastructure to respond to climate-related health shocks and emergencies.
Generating evidence on the health impacts of pollution, deforestation, and land degradation to inform integrated environmental and health governance.
