Is it worrying that there have been reported cases of locally acquired #malaria in the US? Yes, but there was a very specific set of circumstances that aligned and created the conditions for these cases. Helpful insight from Johns Hopkins. publichealth.jhu.edu/2023/ma…

Malaria’s Comeback in the U.S. | Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

The U.S. has recorded its first homegrown malaria cases in decades—but there’s no need to panic.

"We can't allow the accountability to be shifted outside the (U.N. #climate) system - for a very simple reason: 90% of disasters we are facing today are climate-related." "The #LossAndDamage fund has to be the top-level mechanism that should have oversight on whether people are getting sufficient support or not."

Climate change is quickly becoming one of the biggest threats to #health globally. 🌎 Not integrating this into how we educate future medical professionals would be a massive oversight that would surely cause us more harm in the future. @CC_Yale yaleclimateconnections.org/2…

Students push for climate education at medical schools » Yale Climate Connections
