Description
Tessa Rose Cornell and five co-authors review how far infectious disease is woven into climate policy in four Horn of Africa countries. Their document review was published in twenty twenty-six. The region faces growing climate extremes, and many of its diseases are climate-sensitive.
The team searched policy databases, agency sites, and reference chains for climate strategies and plans from Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, and Uganda. Ninety-eight documents were kept. Each was read for its aims, scope, and how fully it covered health and infectious disease, plus the reasons given for including them. Global agencies urge an end to split climate and health work. The review shows where these four countries stand and where the gaps in joining the two agendas remain.
