Climate change and malaria risk: complexity and scaling

P Martens, C Thomas

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

The impact of climate change and other environmental changes on population health poses radical challenges to scientists. A fundamental characteristic of this topic is the pervasive combination of complexity and uncertainty. This chapter seeks to identify the nature and scope of the problem, and to explore the conceptual and methodological approaches to studying these relationships, modelling their future realization, providing estimates of health impacts, and communicating the attendant uncertainties.
