Connecting Climate and Malaria

With Climate Week this week, we thought it would be fitting to give a shout out to all our colleagues who work so diligently to adapt malaria services to a changing climate as well as ensure that our interventions have as minimal an impact on the environment as possible. 

Now in its 14th year and occurring in conjunction with the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Climate Week brings together leaders in climate action that work across business, government, and the overall climate community. 

What is some of the work we have done relating to climate and environment? Regional Environmental Compliance Manager Tahina Masihelison used solar power to cool an insecticide storeroom during last year’s spray campaign in Madagascar, Technical Director Matt Kirby shared his thoughts on how climate data can be used to combat the spread of malaria in this podcast, and many of our spray countries have comprehensive waste management practices that strive to recycle as much of their materials as possible. 

Keep up the great work, PMI VectorLink!
