Malaria & Climate Risk: A new Nature study finds climate change is “moving” malaria: it has slightly increased risk overall in sub-Saharan children, but rising temperatures may reduce today’s hottest hotspots while increasing risk in southern and East Africa—meaning prevention plans need to shift, not just scale up. Food Security & Soil Health: The UN FAO reports global hunger fell by about 43 million people from 2022–2025, yet Africa still lags, with 20% of Africans facing hunger in 2025; the report points to conflict, aid cuts, and climate shocks, and urges soil-fertility and diversified farming approaches.
