Climate Change & neglected tropical diseases – A 5 minute Recap

The impacts of climate change are increasingly hindering efforts to treat and eliminate neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) and other diseases, such as malaria, which disproportionately affect populations vulnerable to extreme weather and other climate-related challenges. This partners forum builds on the dialogue generated by the recently published papers, listed above.

During the discussion, we hear perspectives from community organizations, governments, and multilateral institutions that inform the fast-growing debate around how political and financial systems must coordinate to support the communities most affected by climate change and who contribute least to its causes, and how disease elimination strategies can evolve considering these challenges.
