A disease of great public health concern affecting nearly half of the world’s population, and it is spreading across countries. Malaria also seems to be one of the health outcomes most sensitive to climate change. Child mortality, accounting for 70% of total malaria mortality, is likely to increase by up to 20% in some areas due to climate change by the end of the 21st century. A study by CMCC researcher S. Dasgupta investigated the relationship between climatic exposure and malaria mortality
