What is the relationship between climate change and health in Africa and Asia? If you are concerned about climate change, please read and share. We will be sharing more in the coming days.
Below are five first-hand observations from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Madagascar, and Nigeria, shared by health professionals Pankwa Kitshane Tania, RASOARIVONY Siza Sophie, ANGELE KAHAMBU KABUYAYA, Uzendah Philip Iorchivir, and Mohamed Kuresh Jimale.
They are five of the health professionals from all over the world who are sharing their experience ahead of the Special Event “From community to planet: Health professionals on the frontlines of climate change”.
Learn more and request your invitation: https://www.learning.foundation/climate
Share on WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter.
We believe that their on-the-ground experience is vital to assemble the puzzle of the complex relationship between climate change and health.
Their insights is needed to bridge significant gaps in scientific understanding of the scale of the current and future effects of climate change on health; how to protect the health of populations as the climate changes (adaptation); and the potential benefits to health of actions that would reduce climate change (mitigation).
“The climate has become very hot even during the dry season when we expect lower temperatures. The agriculture is disrupted resulting in rare and expensive vegetables and fruits in the market, leading to malnutrition. Also, there are numerous floods in the city due to heavy rains, causing deaths. An overwhelming heat during the night makes sleep impossible, leading to an increase in stress and burnout, especially among workers and students.”–Pankwa Kitshane Tania, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
“A vicious cycle exists because everything depends on each other. We are totally dependent on the climate to stay in our balanced ecosystem. The rarity of water leads to the obligatory use of whatever water is available, regardless of the cost it might have on health. The lack of pasture leads to animal deaths, resulting in protein deficiencies and the emergence of malnutrition/diabetes!”–ANGELE KAHAMBU KABUYAYA, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
“Previously, the Fandriana district was covered in forests. Now the forests are gone. This has led to many changes like flooding that ravages all agriculture, causing famines. The rats invade the village leading to the spread of the plague in all villages. The droughts are also very dominant, leading to insufficient water sources.”–RASOARIVONY Siza Sophie, District of Fandriana, Madagascar.
“In my community in Mbaagwa Clan of Ikurav-Ya District of Kwande LGA, a heavy rainfall one night led to flooding. As a result, children and adults started getting sick. A thorough microscopic and laboratory analysis showed malaria parasites. Research showed that a higher percentage of households with stagnant water around them suffered more. Families not sleeping under mosquito nets were most affected. Hence, it was concluded that the flood led to a higher malaria case fatality.”–Uzendah Philip Iorchivir, Kwande LGA, Benue State, Nigeria.
“In recent years, the Somali state of Ethiopia has experienced several climate-related events. The increasing frequency and intensity of droughts have led to a decrease in crop yields and an increase in food insecurity, directly affecting the health of the community. The rise in temperatures has led to an increase in vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever, causing serious illness and even death.”–Mohamed Kuresh Jimale

Warming, Flooding and Smoking: How Climate and Health Intersect in Ulaanbaatar
Nestled in the heart of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar is a city in flux, home for 32 years to Dr Jargalsaikhan Dondog.
“Warming and smoking,” exclaims Jargalsaikhan when asked about the changes in climate and weather she has observed. The winter seasons have not only grown harsher, but they have also been marked by a rise in smoking behavior, a stress response observed among the city’s residents.
Ulaanbaatar is not just facing environmental shifts. Its people’s health is changing too. “Stress and ill,” Jargalsaikhan sums up, providing a snapshot of the health shifts she has witnessed. The stressors are not only psychological but also physical. She has observed increased respiratory diseases, cardiovascular problems, and stress-related disorders associated with extreme temperatures.
Although not a climate specialist, Jargalsaikhan sees a pattern. “Smoking is observed in the winter season. Infectious diseases caused by contaminated water and food increased among the poor communities,” she explains, suggesting a possible link between the environmental changes and the shifts in health she has observed.
Jargalsaikhan’s experiences also extend to the direct impacts of extreme weather events. Recalling a specific event, she shares, “At the beginning of July, there was a flood in Ulaanbaatar city. When it rained heavily, people’s houses were filled with water, and they could not buy food.”
For Jargalsaikhan, the experience of the flood is a lesson learned. It was a moment, now etched in her memory, that highlights the significant impact of climate change on health, and the importance of resilience in the face of such adversity.
As a health professional with a deep connection to her community, Jargalsaikhan’s observations reflect the lived experiences of many in Ulaanbaatar, but through the trained eyes of a medical doctor. They offer a nuanced, first-hand perspective on the intersection of climate and health, bringing to light the subtle and not-so-subtle ways in which a changing environment may affect a city and its people.
From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, discover how climate change is reshaping global health, as told by more than 2,500 frontline health professionals from over 50 countries ahead of the Special Event “From community to planet: Health professionals on the frontlines of climate change”.

TGLF Alumna Rukaya Mumuni Honored as a #HeroineOfHealth
Rukaya Mumuni, a frontline health leader in Ghana, alumna and active contributor to The Geneva Learning Foundation’s (TGLF) global network and Leader in the Movement for Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030), has been awarded the Heroines of Health award at the 2023 Women Deliver conference in Kigali, Rwanda.
Share this on WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.
Rukaya works “in rural and deprived communities providing outreach services to ensure health care becomes accessible to everyone.” She says: “My biggest passion is to see everyone healthy and protected from preventable diseases through vaccination.”
As a TGLF scholar, she participated in the Teach to Reach programme in March 2020 to improve immunization training. Then, when the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted vaccination services, she helped build the COVID-19 Peer Hub, working with 6000 other immunization professionals to develop and implement recovery plans, and then to prepare for the introduction of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Since then, she has become a leader in the Movement for Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030), sharing her experience – successes, lessons learned, and challenges – as she works with peers from all over the world to ensure no child is left behind.
Regarding TGLF’s contribution, Rukaya said: “I actually got this far because of the experiences and lessons I got from TGLF. Am grateful for all the support.”
At the conference, Rukaya is working hand-in-hand with Dr Julie Jacobson, founder of Swiss NGO Bridges to Development and longtime advocate of action to support communities facing Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS), a disease that affects an estimated 56 million women and girls in African but remains neglected.
In 2021, TGLF shared a call to action to its alumni to help end the neglect around FGS in their local communities. Within two weeks, over 4,000 alumni responded. Rukaya joined a programme on neglected needs in women’s health, developed in partnership with Bridges to Development, and quickly became a committed advocate in this new network, supported by Julie and her global colleagues.
Rukaya’s award demonstrates the difference that women leaders in TGLF’s networks are making to expand health equity. It also showcases the vital role of networks in cultivating connections across boundaries of geography, system level, and disease. Rukaya, who works in immunization, would have probably never met Julie, were it not for the power of digital networks.

Climate and health: An introduction to citizen science for health professionals
Follow this link to learn more about this workshop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypZgak6At94
This workshop is offered by The Geneva Learning Foundation in partnership with the UCL Institute for Global Prosperity (IGP).
Health professionals concerned about climate and health are invited to this follow-up session presented by leading advocates of citizen science.
Following the climate and health special event, this session aims to better understand and explore how observations of climate and change made by health professionals and communities contribute to the science of climate and health.
The session is intended for any health professional, from community health workers to public health specialists, seeking to enhance their roles as pivotal actors in understanding and combating the effects of climate change on health.
During this session, we will introduce and unpack the Citizen Science methodology—a model that synergizes the effort of academic researchers with citizen scientists, resulting in solutions that make real, tangible differences.
Grounded in the experience of PROCOL Lebanon and the RELIEF Centre, we will explore how Citizen Science can enhance data collection, analysis, and the design and implementation of interventions for improved community health.
Our goal is not only to inspire projects to employ the Citizen Science methodology but also to cultivate a deeper understanding of how health professionals can leverage this approach to enrich their work and their impact on the communities they serve. With Citizen Science, we can go beyond observations and translate our collective knowledge into meaningful, contextually sensitive interventions.
