SINGAPORE - Health problems caused by climate change, such as heat stress and mosquito-borne diseases, will continue to worsen unless countries do more to slash planet-warming emissions, a global group of researchers has warned.
The report stated that countries that are ranked high or very high on the human development index, like Singapore, are most vulnerable to increased dengue outbreaks and heat extremes. Warmer weather allows the Aedes mosquito to breed faster.
The number of dengue cases has exceeded 4,400 this year, with more than 100 cases per week since Sept 19, said the National Environment Agency in a Facebook post last week.
At the same time, 2021 saw the rise of a locally rare dengue virus type, called DenV-3. As Singapore has not seen a DenV-3 outbreak in 30 years, population immunity against the virus type is low. DenV-3 has been detected in two large clusters since September, said NEA.
"Entering 2022 with an atypically high number of dengue cases could lead to a dengue outbreak next year," the agency added.
