"Climate change isn't just making malaria worse or better, it's moving it. Whether a place sees elevated malaria risks or reduced burdens under climate change depends on how hot it is today. The researchers are explicit that climate change is a modest factor next to the impact of malaria control efforts: bed nets, treatment access, vaccines, and vector control have historically reduced malaria far more than climate change has increased or decreased it. The big story here is the opportunity for action: so far, elimination efforts have counteracted climate change impacts by nearly 200-fold. Malaria elimination within a generation is not only possible, but one of the best ways to protect frontline populations from climate change impacts."
