This project will conduct modelling analyses of the impact of climate change on TB, which is often neglected in wider climate & health discussions
Climate change is likely to exacerbate a range of social, economic and environmental risk factors which are critical in driving the tuberculosis (TB) epidemic. However, TB is often neglected in wider climate and health discussions, with a narrow focus on direct environmental and meteorological indicators that could have an effect. As a result there is a critical need for evidence to help elucidate the interconnections between climate change and TB. The aim of this project will be to collate epidemiological and economic data to conduct mathematical modelling analysis of the impact and mitigation of climate change on TB. This will allow us to provide novel insight and evidence to support the development of climate-resilient TB health services, providing detailed estimates of which TB intervention activities to prioritise, and the expected resource requirements and timelines to do so.
