Heatwaves harm the vulnerable, floods and storms disrupt lives, vector- and waterborne diseases increase, and air pollution silently affects millions. These are not abstract trends, but daily realities,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>He added that evidence-based public health responses depend on strong data systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout robust data, effective responses are impossible. Resilience begins with credible, timely and trusted information.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The initiative, dubbed Standards for Official Statistics on Climate Health Interactions (SOSCHI) and endorsed by a UN expert group, aims to advance global research on climate and health, address gaps in the knowledge base, and support national monitoring and evidence-based policy.<\/p>\n<p>The project is spearheaded by the UK\u2019s Office for National Statistics (ONS), in collaboration with the AIMS Research and Innovation Centre (AIMS RIC) in Rwanda and the Regional Institute for Population Studies (RIPS) in Ghana, and is funded by the Wellcome organisation.<\/p>\n<p>It includes the development of a statistical framework and an online platform of recommended indicators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRwanda is proud to be a pilot country leading this effort,\u201d Gahigi said.<\/p>\n<p>A range of indicators based on state-of-the-art statistical methods will estimate climate-related health risks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda, we are integrating SOSCHI indicators into national statistical systems to ensure reliable, independent production year after year,\u201d Gahigi noted.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative is supported by several institutions in Rwanda, including the Rwanda Biomedical Centre (RBC), Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA), Rwanda Space Agency, and Meteo Rwanda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLinking climate data to health outcomes is a national priority. The project will enable us to measure how climate change affects population health in Africa and beyond,\u201d Wilfred Ndifon, President of AIMS RIC said.<\/p>\n<p>He noted: \u201cTogether with the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda, we guided the project to ensure it addresses national priorities regarding the health impacts of climate change. The project helps countries measure these impacts, enabling responsive policies tailored to community needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Malaria and respiratory diseases in Rwanda<\/p>\n<p>He added that climate-related health impact indicators were applied to specific diseases in Rwanda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, we have quantified the impacts of climate change on malaria and respiratory diseases, providing the government with actionable, evidence-based information for policy-making.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The initiative covers 10 topics: extreme weather events (flooding and wildfires), water-related health impacts, airborne diseases (such as cerebrospinal meningitis), air pollution, vector-borne diseases, malnutrition, health care systems and facilities, heat- and cold-related mortality, exposure to chemical contaminants, and mental health.<\/p>\n<p>Diseases triggered by climate change impacts include air pollution-related illnesses, airborne diseases, waterborne diseases, vector-borne diseases, and non-communicable diseases.<\/p>\n<p>Studies show malaria incidence attributable to extreme temperature and rainfall, as well as diarrhoeal disease incidence linked to extreme temperature and rainfall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cData sharing remains a major challenge in Rwanda and across Africa, and without consistent, accessible, interoperable data, national statistics institutes cannot sustain this work,\u201d stated Juliet Kabera, Director General of Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA).<\/p>\n<p>Fide\u0300le Bingwa, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Environment, added that climate and health data would help justify the budgets needed for climate resilience and public health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout a culture of data collection and a strong working relationship with the Ministry of Health and the National Institute of Statistics, there is a gap. That is exactly why we joined this initiative\u2014to finally link climate change and public health through real indicators and historical data.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lucinda Eggleton, Director of Health and International at the UK ONS, said: \u201cMonitoring the health impacts of climate change is an emerging field where innovative statistical approaches can rapidly inform understanding, action and policy.<\/p>\n<p>Climate change interacts with multiple health outcomes from vector-borne diseases to mental health and data allows us to identify problems and design effective interventions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Bele\u0301m Health Action Plan at COP30<\/b><\/p>\n<p>According to the World Health Organisation\u2019s Bele\u0301m Health Action Plan, adopted at COP30, countries must strengthen epidemiological and environmental monitoring capacities to support evidence-based measures that prevent or reduce climate-related health impacts.<\/p>\n<p>A declaration announced in Kigali stated that \u201cthere is an urgent need for better information on the health impacts of climate hazards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The SOSCHI framework provides a statistical basis for measuring the key health impacts of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>These indicators have been endorsed by the UN Expert Group on Climate Change and Environment Statistics as part of the global set of climate-change indicators.<\/p>\n<p>Kigali\u2019s declaration said: \u201cSOSCHI indicators should be implemented and integrated into national statistical systems to support climate\u2013health strategies, with a focus on priority areas such as extreme weather, water-related health impacts, vector-borne diseases, mental health, and other areas depending on national context.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It emphasised that statistical capacity in low- and middle-income countries must be strengthened, especially in civil registration and the efficient collection of health data. Stronger data-sharing mechanisms are essential.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe invite national statistics offices, ministries of health, research institutions, and funders to join us as we pilot and scale up the SOSCHI framework to strengthen statistical capacity and data availability, and deliver validated climate\u2013health methods that inform policy, build resilience, and protect population health in the face of climate change,\u201d the declaration concluded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no adaptation without metrics. You cannot adapt to what you do not know, and you cannot know what you do not measure. Indicators are therefore critical\u2014not just for raising questions, but for informing decisions,\u201d said Christian Muragijimana, Senior Research Analyst in climate change adaptation and climate risk management at PlanAdapt.<\/p>\n<p>While Rwanda has made significant progress on climate adaptation, he argued that lessons from different contexts will ensure that these indicators are designed to respond to African realities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClimate action is health action. As we expand beyond traditional climate-sensitive sectors like agriculture and infrastructure, we must embed these indicators into daily practice. Policies and decisions must reflect the evidence generated by these datasets. It is essential that adaptation measures are grounded in the data and insights provided by these indicators,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Rwanda<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
