PREVENTION AND TREATMENT REDUCE HIV/AIDS INFECTIONS
AND DEATHS; CLIMATE CHANGE HAS DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES
IN AFRICA
On the first of December every year the United Nations
observes World AIDS Day to put the spotlight on this
pandemic. This year's observance comes just a week after
the launch of a special report compiled by the Joint
United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, UNAIDS, and the
World Health organization.
 “The
headline message is 'Prevention Works' and we have ample
evidence of this that has built up over the years. But
for them to work there has to be sustained intensive
application of these tools”, says Desmond
Johns, Director of the UNAIDS New York Office. We will
hear more from him and his colleague, Dr.Jim Kim, of
the World Health Organization.
We revisit the issue of climate change which is having
devastating consequences in Africa. According to Harvard
Medical School's,Dr. Paul Epstein, a key author of the
effects of climate change on African countries....
 “What
we are seeing overall is more profound and prolonged
droughts and many more heavy rain events that lead to
flooding. And the two go together because if you have
a drought, the soils dry up and it makes the heavy rains
much more apt to flooding.”
