Explanation

Climate change has adverse impacts on human health in Africa.
Rising temperatures, changes in rainfall patterns, and extreme weather events can contribute to the spread of vector-borne diseases, such as malaria and dengue fever.
Additionally, climate change can exacerbate food and water insecurity, leading to malnutrition and waterborne diseases.
Vulnerable populations, including children, the elderly, and those with limited access to healthcare, are particularly at risk.
