Living through the heat
Climate change is driving more frequent and intense heatwaves, posing growing risks to urban populations, particularly children and young people (CYP). This study examined how heatwaves affect the health, well-being, and daily lives of CYP across six rapidly urbanising cities: Accra, Kumasi, Ouagadougou, Port Harcourt, Manila, and Dar es Salaam. We conducted online surveys during both heatwave and non-heatwave periods, collecting 2,269 valid resp…
Gaps and opportunities for data systems and economics to support priority setting for climate-sensitive infectious diseases in sub-Saharan Africa
Climate change alters risks associated with climate-sensitive infectious diseases (CSIDs) with pandemic potential. This poses additional threats to already vulnerable populations, further amplified by social factors such as gender inequalities. Currently, critical evidence gaps, along with inadequate institutional and governance mechanisms, hinder African states’ ability to prevent, detect and respond to CSIDs. Effective responses require transpa…
