Climate geoengineering may put one billion at risk of malaria: Study

Geoengineering the climate would have massive repercussions for the health of billions living in tropical countries with malaria, said a new study published on Thursday.

Scientists from icddr,b and other international research institutions conducted the pioneering research to understand how solar radiation management (SRM) geoengineering could affect some of the world's poorest and most vulnerable regions. In a study published on April 20, 2022 in Nature Communications ("Solar geoengineering could redistribute malaria risk in developing countries), researchers have conducted the first assessment of how geoengineering the climate could impact the burden of infectious diseases, read a releader of icddr,b. The study was led by Colin Carlson, an assistant research professor at the Center for Global Health Science and Security at Georgetown University Medical Center.
