<\/p>\n

As the upcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) will underscore: our health is intricately linked to the health of our planet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Climate change has a wide-ranging impact on health, ranging from infectious disease to food insecurity, heat and pollution-related illnesses, and injuries and death caused by extreme weather events. It also disrupts health systems and access to medical services that exacerbate health challenges.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Adapting is key, all with the urgency of now. We explain how, below.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Across contexts and health areas, the PSI global network is responding to stay
ahead of the challenge and on top of our commitment: delivering quality,
accessible, and affordable care to people \u2013 even amidst a changing climate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There\u2019s no doubt: climate change will significantly impact the distribution and prevalence of malaria \u2013 with differing impacts on the parasite, the parasite-carrying a<\/em> mosquito, and the humans at risk of contracting the disease. While the effects will vary by country and region, we know: adaptations will be needed \u2013 across the board.<\/p>\n

What have we learned? How are we adapting? We share.<\/p>\n

By segmenting markets to understand what technologies are appropriate for different geographic areas, to working with governments to establish quality standards that protect the water table, and introducing new on-site containment and treatment technologies, PSI builds resilient sanitation markets that mitigate the environmental impact of sanitation and adapt to the challenges posed by climate change now and in the future.<\/p>\n

While self-care can never fully replace the need for in-person support, self-care technologies \u2013 including diagnostics, devices, drugs, and digital health solutions \u2013 are equipping individuals to self-manage their health during (and beyond) climate-induced crises. In partnership with UNITAID and CIFF, PSI shapes markets for self-care and establishing resilient supply chains, expanding access to healthcare by putting technologies directly in the hands of everyday people.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our work spans self-testing for HIV, hepatitis C and B, COVID-19, and pregnancy, self-injectable contraceptives, self-sampling for cervical cancer and STI screening, self-managed abortion, among other self-care technologies. We explain here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Girls\u2019 agency is a prerequisite for effective action against climate change. Implementers and policymakers, therefore, need a simple framework now to center girls \u2013 their voices and experiences \u2013 as we collectively adapt to a changing climate. Drawing from learnings from our flagship adolescent contraceptive program A360<\/a>, we propose focusing both on shifting social norms e <\/em>building up girls\u2019 internal capabilities to support girls to take ownership of their health and lives\u2014beyond any single, siloed health area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
