Climate change is already impacting certain health outcomes in Africa  and risks for most  health outcomes are projected to increase with increasing global warming , with young children , the elderly , pregnant women, individuals with pre-existing morbidities, physical labourers and people living in poverty or affected by other socioeconomic determinants of health being the most vulnerable . Women may be more vulnerable to climate change impacts than men . Contextualising projected impacts of climate change on health requires an understanding of observed impacts . Without management and mitigation, current and projected morbidities and mortalities will put additional strain on health, social and economic systems .
