In a proactive effort to address the health challenges posed by climate change, Botswana has conducted a Climate Change Health Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment in selected districts.

Commissioned by the Ministry of Health, the assessment aimed to identify high-risk areas and vulnerable populations, strengthening the country’s ability to respond effectively to climate-related health threats.

According to the Botswana office of the World Health Organization (WHO), the assessment was designed to provide evidence-based insights to inform policy decisions and guide the development of the National Health Adaptation Plan (H-NAP).

Findings from the assessment indicate that Botswana is highly vulnerable to climate change, with key economic sectors facing increasing risks unless effective adaptation and mitigation strategies are implemented.

“The report highlights that climate change affects health through multiple pathways, including extreme weather events, air pollution, food insecurity, and the spread of waterborne and climate-sensitive diseases,” WHO stated on Monday.

These challenges are expected to place growing pressure on Botswana’s health system, making urgent action necessary. The findings establish a critical baseline for tracking disease risks, outbreaks, and preventive measures while enhancing the understanding of climate-health linkages.

With seed funding from the Wellcome Trust, WHO’s country office engaged a consultant to evaluate both current and projected climate change impacts on health, malnutrition, and disease burden in Botswana.

The study examined direct effects, environmentally mediated impacts, and socially influenced health risks using available data. It also assessed vulnerabilities within the health system, adaptation capacities, and at-risk populations, with a focus on children, gender, and equity considerations.
