The changes have been associated with a number of things that are currently happening e.g food security in most parts of Africa and raising sea levels. These changes have affected seasonality. The adverse affects of climatic change on morbidity and mortality have not been well documented. This paper thus comes a time when a lot of research is need to document the effect of climatic change in a wide range of areas. The paper target the urban poor, a rapidly growing population in the developing nations, that also is posing a new challenge in implementing health, planning and land policies for these nations. The authors have touched an area though researched earlier but also an area that needs attention with the current world situation and the era of HIV aids.
