Impacts On Human Health
qUnder climate change scenarios, there would be a net increase in the geographic range of potential
transmission of malaria and dengue–two
vector-borne infections each of which currently impinge on 40-50% of the world population.
qExtensive experience makes clear
that any increase in flooding
will increase the risk of drowning, diarrhoeal and respiratory
diseases, and, in developing countries, hunger and malnutrition.
