The previous month also exceeded the previous March record by 0.10°C set in 2016.

Can climate change accelerate transmission of malaria? New research sheds light on impacts of temperature
phys.org/news/2024-04-climate-transmission-malaria-impacts-temperature.html
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.

reuters.com/world/un-climate-chief-says-two-years-save-planet-2024-04-10/
Quick Glance: U.N. climate chief emphasizes urgency in global climate action
- Governments worldwide are urged to act within two years to prevent worsening climate change, with a focus on halving greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 to avoid a significant temperature increase. Despite rising emissions last year, current commitments are insufficient in reducing global emissions by 2030.
- The next two years are crucial for saving the planet, according to the Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Stronger national climate plans are deemed essential, especially from the G20 countries, responsible for 80% of global emissions. A key goal of this year's UN climate negotiations is to establish a new climate finance target to aid developing nations in transitioning away from fossil fuels.
- Efforts are being made to provide more climate finance through debt relief, affordable financing for poorer countries, new international funding sources like a shipping emissions tax, and reforms at institutions such as the World Bank and IMF. Additionally, calls are made for a revamp of capital requirements and increased use of Climate Resilient Debt Clauses at the World Bank. Politicians worldwide are urged to prioritize climate action as it often takes a backseat on government agendas.
