Climate change has a direct impact on human health. The direct impact includes injury, morbidity and mortality caused by climate change-related extreme weather events; thermal stress; skin and eye damage; and cardio-respiratory diseases directly related to temperature and air quality changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most conventional interventions are neither fast nor deep enough to slow climate change’s impact on health systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, there is an urgent need to make health systems in Africa more climate resilient by adopting the One Health approach when designing health interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
