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.
