Climate change has increased the health risks in Uganda, including vector-borne diseases and natural disasters. These challenges threaten critical aspects of health facilities' functioning, such as workforce, sanitation, energy, and infrastructure. Uganda has 6,937 health facilities comprising hospitals and health centers. Kasese District, a disaster-prone district, has 117 health facilities, whereas Yumbe District, a refugee-affected district, has 39. This research examines the readiness of Ugandan health facilities and workers in Kasese and Yumbe districts to manage climate-induced impacts, exploring readiness factors, health worker perspectives, and current mitigation measures to enhance resilience against climate-related health risks.

This CARP project investigates the relationship between climate change and cutaneous leishmaniasis in the highly endemic areas of M’sila Province, Algeria. It aims to prevent disease outbreaks, establish early warning systems, and facilitate climate change adaptation strategies. The research will analyze the vulnerability of the local population, study disease transmission cycles, assess socio-economic and public health impacts, and identify seasonal patterns and environmental factors influencing disease outbreaks.

Uganda hosts an estimated 1.5 million refugees in 13 districts. Adjumani and Lamwo (Palabek) host an estimated 208,422 and 71,195 refugees, respectively. The influx of refugees and the increasing host population put pressure on available natural resources, including the green ecosystem, which affects surface and underground water.

Climate Variability has an influence on many underlying determinants of child malnutrition, including food access and availability as well as utilization. A community's food security and access to nutrition are at the whim of extreme weather events, seasonality, and changes in biodiversity. This is the case in Kenya, where child malnutrition is one of the most urgent public health concerns
