Enhancing Health and Food Security Through Climate Variability Monitoring

Explore the intersection of human health, food security, and climate variability, focusing on malaria early warning systems and data integration for improved response. Learn from the Eritrea case study and initiatives by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) at Columbia University. Discover tools and resources to enhance accessibility and decision-making in health and agriculture sectors.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Food Security, Human Health and Climate Variability PietroCeccato, Madeleine Thomson, Stephen Connor The International Research Institute for Climate and Society, The Earth Institute, Columbia University

  2. IRI Climate Forecast Products

  3. IRI Application Sectors

  4. Human Health & Food Security When we think about health we have to have a broad perspective and include food security which impacts nutrition and immunity level to diseases

  5. Case surveillance alone = late warning Malaria Early Warning System Flag 1 – Flag 2 – Flag 3 Alert & Response

  6. Malaria and Climate Variability

  7. Malaria and Climate Variability Eritrea Case Study Malaria distribution in Eritrea Very Low incidence (Jan/Oct peaks) Moderate incidence West (Oct peak) Moderate incidence East (Jan peak) High incidence (Oct peak) Low incidence (Jan/Oct peak) Ceccato et al., 2006 in Am. Soc Trop Med & Hyg

  8. Data and Products Malaria

  10. Data and Products Malaria

  11. Minimum Air Temperature Monitoring MODIS LST night (highlands in Ethiopia)

  12. Vectorial Capacity Malaria: Vectorial Capacity V = ma2Pn/-lnP Temperature MODIS LST Rainfall TRMM VCAP

  13. Vectorial Capacity (USGS-IRI)

  14. Malaria Transmission

  15. Improve Accessibility and Diffusion of Data Integrate the data and dynamical maps within: • UN WHO OpenHealth/ Vector Control Decision Support • NASA SERVIR

  16. Integration IRI Malaria Products IRI Map Room translated into layers for WMS integrated within WHO Vector Control Decision System

  17. SERVIR Integration

  18. Build and Train Community of Practice • IRI Summer Institute (2 weeks) 2008-2009-2010-2011-… • In Countries: Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, Madagascar, Uruguay
