Asia Pacific Regional Learning Hub-Monthly-Newsletter-October- 2026- Part II

Climate change has become a driver of vulnerability for health systems, disease programs and communities. Heatwaves, floods, droughts, changing rainfall, displacement and food insecurity disrupt prevention, testing, treatment and continuity of care.In this edition, ARRLH covers the Climate Resilience for HIV, TB, and Malaria, giving communities a roadmap for the Global Fund’s Grant Cycle 8 (GC8). It highlights how escalating disasters like floods, typhoons and other climate shocks disrupt life-saving medicine supply chains, alongside practical, actionable strategies on how communities can actively push for disaster-ready mobile clinics, use climate forecasts to optimize malaria net and spraying schedules, and integrate climate impact tracking directly into Community-Led Monitoring (CLM).
