Quick Glance: Combatting Malaria: Challenges and Solutions
- Progress in reducing malaria has stalled in recent years, especially in African regions. Pregnant women, young children, and other vulnerable groups continue to have limited access to malaria services.
- Infants and young children are disproportionately affected by malaria, especially in poorer households in sub-Saharan Africa. Pregnant women are at increased risk of malaria due to immunity loss.
- Refugees, migrants, and indigenous peoples are also at higher risk of malaria and often lack access to necessary services.
- Climate change and humanitarian emergencies contribute to making vulnerable populations more susceptible to malaria. Measures like combating discrimination and integrating malaria control interventions into universal health coverage can help achieve a malaria-free world.

Quick Glance: Switzerland: Condemnation by ECHR Signifies 'Historic' Step
- For the first time, an international court has ruled on the harmful effects of climate change, establishing a direct link with quality of life, health, and well-being.
- The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) condemned Switzerland on April 9, 2024, for climate inaction, stating that the country had not taken sufficient measures to protect its citizens from the effects of climate disruption.
- Described as 'historic' by observers, the ruling is expected to set a precedent in the 46 member states of the Council of Europe, increasing pressure on governments to intensify their actions.
- The Senior Women for Climate Protection, who have been fighting since 2016 to prove that heatwaves exacerbate their health problems and that Swiss climate policy is 'insufficient' to contain global warming to 1.5°C, expressed great pride in the Court recognizing their fundamental rights to a healthy climate for the first time.
