Climate change is bringing malaria to new areas. In Africa, it never left
Quick Glance: Combatting Malaria: Challenges and Solutions
  • Progress in reducing malaria has stalled in recent years, especially in African regions. Pregnant women, young children, and other vulnerable groups continue to have limited access to malaria services.

  • Infants and young children are disproportionately affected by malaria, especially in poorer households in sub-Saharan Africa. Pregnant women are at increased risk of malaria due to immunity loss.

  • Refugees, migrants, and indigenous peoples are also at higher risk of malaria and often lack access to necessary services.

  • Climate change and humanitarian emergencies contribute to making vulnerable populations more susceptible to malaria. Measures like combating discrimination and integrating malaria control interventions into universal health coverage can help achieve a malaria-free world.

Coal and new gas power plants will have to meet climate pollution targets
Quick Glance: New EPA Rules Target Emissions Reduction at Power Plants
  • The Biden administration aims to compel coal-fired power plants to capture smokestack emissions or close down.

  • The rules target limiting greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel power plants and reducing toxic pollutants from coal-fired plants.

  • The plan includes measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, toxic wastewater pollutants, and safely manage coal ash.

  • The actions are expected to face opposition from industry groups and Republican-leaning states, while environmental groups see it as a crucial step in combating climate change.

Quick Glance: Europe Leads in Climate Change, Urgent Need for Renewable Energy
  • Europe is the fastest-warming continent, with temperatures rising about twice as fast as the global average, according to a joint report by top climate monitoring organizations.

  • The continent generated 43% of its electricity from renewables last year, surpassing fossil fuels for the second consecutive year, highlighting the need for targeted strategies to transition to renewable resources.

  • Temperatures in Europe are now 2.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, nearing the goals of the Paris climate accord to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, impacting human health with increased deaths related to extreme climate events.

  • The report emphasizes the urgent need for action as heatwaves, wildfires, and other extreme weather events have led to significant economic losses and human casualties across the continent.
