Changing rainfall patterns - some regions experiencing longer periods of drought
Extreme weather events may cause heavier rainfall and flooding meaning larger breeding grounds for mosquitoes
Warmer temperatures and a longer summer season may shift mosquito populations further north and south
Warmer temperatures at higher elevations may mean mosquitoes live in new habitat zones
Changes in climate may cause more invasive species and a change in food chains
Sea level rises in coastal areas may create more swamp lands
Environmental changes may mean increases in migration, eg. rural to urban
Warmer oceans may generate a higher frequency and magnitude of tropical storms
More mild winters may mean some insects that carry vector borne disease may not be killed off
Warmer temperatures may increase tourism in regions
Extreme weather events may impact on farmers and result in migration
Many cities that used to be outside of malaria zones are now becoming more vulnerable
Climate change is increasing environmental refugees to urban areas
