Climatelinks focused on climate change’s impacts to human health this month. We featured a potential malaria transmission early warning system based on ocean temperature; opportunities and challenges in Mozambique for better integrating climate into health sector planning; a synthesis of the evidence of climate risks on human health in Africa; and a new initiative to map hotspots of climate-related health risks for sub-Saharan Africa.
