The Research funded by the UK government in Kenya found that raising temperature on the Slopes of Mount Kenya caused seven times more people are contracting the Malaria in outbreaks in the region than 10 years ago and have put an extra four million people at risk.
In 1989, the average temperature in the Central Highlands was 17C in 1989, with malaria completely absent from the region as the parasite which causes it can only mature above 18C.But now th eavarage is 19C. So it needs a strong and ungent action to tackle the potentially devastating impacts of climate change in Kenya.
