THE WORLD NEEDS NEW GLOBAL HEALTH SOLUTIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
Despite the increased awareness of the direct impacts of climate change on health and the need for proactive solutions and financing, not enough is being done to protect the most vulnerable communities with practical solutions, mitigation action, and investment in healthcare systems.
FORECASTING HEALTHY FUTURES WAS LAUNCHED TO ACCELERATE INVESTMENT IN NEW SOLUTIONS.
In 2020, Malaria No More convened a coalition of global health and technology partners committed to addressing the intersection of health and climate. Since then the coalition has grown and continues to find new ways to protect global health gains from the threat of climate change.

Institute for Health Modeling and Climate Solutions (IMACS)
The Institute for Health Modeling and Climate Solutions is a virtual center of excellence with the mission to help countries accurately anticipate climate-driven changes in malaria transmission and direct their control measures with more precision.
The Institute for Health Modeling and Climate Solutions links experts around the world, advancing the multidisciplinary science of designing increasingly sophisticated early warning systems for malaria prediction. Those systems unlock the potential for precision programming and cost-effective disease elimination; paving the way for successful elimination despite the complexity introduced by climate change.
