Climate change is changing infectious disease risk - are your plans ready?
In 2024, Europe recorded over 1,400 locally acquired cases of West Nile Virus - the highest in recent years. Meanwhile, the Americas faced their worst dengue outbreak on record.
Vector-borne diseases are no longer confined to predictable seasons or regions. Climate shifts are changing insect behaviour, altering disease patterns, and increasing the potential for outbreaks in both endemic and non-endemic areas. What does this mean for your travel policies and duty of care?
Our latest advisory examines how these changes affect global health and operational risk, drawing on surveillance data and case trends across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
By downloading the report, you’ll understand:
- How warmer winters and early springs are accelerating tick and mosquito activity
- Emerging hotspots for diseases like dengue, West Nile virus, and tick-borne encephalitis
- The early warning signs of non-endemic transmission and what they mean for future risk
- Practical steps to reduce risk for travellers and organisations
