dc.description.abstractWest Africa’s vulnerability to climate change is related to a high regional reliance on climate-sensitive economic activities such as rain-fed agriculture, livestock rearing, fisheries and forestry. Socioeconomic vulnerability correlates with poor health conditions in the region. Some climate-sensitive diseases and disease vectors are discussed. Meanwhile the analysis reveals that the West African region is already suffering from health impacts of climate change. A cross-disciplinary research agenda needs to be developed to enhance understanding of the health effects of climate change in different eco-climatic settings within West African countries, linking meteorology, climatology, and other relevant sectors.en
