Tuberculosis and climate change: analytical framework and knowledge gaps

This report explores the intersection of tuberculosis (TB) and climate change, highlighting how climate-related challenges such as food and water insecurity, displacement, and disrupted healthcare access amplify TB risk. Intended as a resource for policymakers, researchers, development partners, financing institutions, and civil society, it advocates for recognizing TB as a climate-sensitive disease. The report promotes research, calls for increased financing, and provides an evidence-based framework to inform mitigation, adaptation, and resilience strategies in the global TB response.

The report urges governments to:

• integrate TB services into climate and health strategies
• strengthen health systems to withstand climate shocks
• secure sustainable financing for TB, including through climate and health funds.
