Climate-Health Linkages in Infectious Disease Surveillance
Climate and environmental change can potentially expand the geographic distribution of certain diseases, resulting in more unpredictable and potentially worsened outbreaks. Changes in temperature, humidity, rainfall, and land use shift the suitability of transmission for vector-borne diseases like malaria and dengue, introducing the burden of disease to novel populations. To adapt to the changes in disease risk and inform interventions, the health sector is finding more linkages in their work with climate research and solutions, such as climate-health models. Integrating and using climate-health data can improve health system responsiveness and outcomes by effectively predicting, detecting and responding to changing disease burdens. The efforts to integrate climate information into health systems require technical capacity and an enabling environment, in which decision-makers understand and trust the output of such systems. In this webinar, we shared where the climate-health work currently stands and how health surveillance, climate research, and policy change can collectively shape adaptation tools and interventions to strengthen health system resilience to climate change.
