There's an urgent need for integration of TB response into national, regional & global climate response strategies, esp in areas with high burden of TB. Failure to act will not only stall progress to #endTB but will also exacerbate global health inequities and social disparities

But no studies directly linking climate change and TB, warranting research to build evidence for action

We reviewed the literature for key pathways, including food and water insecurity, displacement, and disrupted healthcare access. We found extensive evidence supporting the existence of plausible links between climate change and TB

We drew on existing knowledge of TB determinants, identified those likely to be sensitive to the effects of climate change, and conceptualised mechanistic pathways through which this might occur

We think our recent review provides a better estimate of the RR leading to a much higher PAF, demonstrating the importance of addressing undernutrition to prevent TB.
