Standards for Official Statistics on Climate-Health Interactions (SOSCHI): Malaria cases attributable to extreme precipitation, and extreme temperature: methodology

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Climate change is leading to more extreme temperatures and precipitation. These changes promote the spread of certain vector-borne diseases which are impacted by warmer temperatures, humidity, and heavy rainfall. Malaria is a significant public health issue, particularly in tropical and subtropical world regions, and is highly impacted by these climatic changes. This topic area aims to quantify the health impacts of malaria attributable to extreme temperatures and precipitation. This is the Methodology document for indicator: Malaria cases attributable to extreme precipitation, and extreme temperature.
