Climate Change is making malaria worse in parts of Africa while wiping it out in others, new study finds

" – Tamma Carleton, Faculty Head of Research, Climate Impact Lab, and Assistant Professor, University of California, Berkeley The Data, Country by Country The study includes detailed country-level projections of how malaria prevalence (cases per 1,000 children) has changed already, and how it's projected to change by 2050 and by 2100.

Mali 2011 A major new study published in the journal Nature has found that climate change is redrawing the malaria map across Africa, making the disease worse in cooler regions like southern and East Africa, while pushing it toward elimination in some of today's hottest malaria hotspots, including much of West Africa and the Sahel.

If the world manages to keep warming below 2°C (the key target under the Paris Agreement), it could prevent about 5 excess cases of malaria per 1,000 children in southern Africa, and even more in the East African highlands, compared to a hotter future.
