Climate change — and the extreme weather events it brings — could raise global malaria rates, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned Thursday (Nov. 30).
"The changing climate poses a substantial risk to progress against malaria, particularly in vulnerable regions," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a statement. "Sustainable and resilient malaria responses are needed now more than ever, coupled with urgent actions to slow the pace of global warming and reduce its effects."
