Climate change presents tremendous challenges, especially for people in the Global South. Two international studies led by Charité—Universitätsmedizin Berlin have investigated how the population in sub-Saharan Africa is coping with rising temperatures and the threat of infection—and what can be done about it. Reporting in the journals The Lancet Planetary Health and Nature Medicine, the researchers relate that women in agriculture suffer more from rising temperatures, while simple measures can improve domestic living conditions. The results are also relevant for adapting to climate change in Germany.
