Climate change could cause over 100 million additional cases of malaria and over 500,000 additional deaths in Africa by 2050.[1][2][3][4] A study published in Nature analyzed 25 years of data on climate, malaria, control measures, socioeconomic indicators and extreme weather events in Africa.[2][3][4] A major factor is extreme events such as floods and cyclones that destroy houses, mosquito nets and health services, disrupting malaria control programmes.[1][2][3][4] These disruptions account for 79% of the increased risk of malaria transmission and 93% of additional deaths.[1][2][3][4] Increased temperatures and changes in precipitation have less of an impact, although they are expanding mosquito-friendly areas in southern Africa and high-altitude regions.[1][3] Between 2024 and 2050, the risk of malaria will decrease for 67% of people in Africa due to climate change.[1] Most new cases occur in pre-existing at-risk areas, particularly in Nigeria, the African Great Lakes, Angola, Zambia and the coastal zones of South East Africa.[1][3] The authors recommend incorporating climate resilience into malaria control policies.[2][3][4]
