00:00half of our vaccines are very relevant to climate-sensitive diseases. I mean, when floods
00:04strike in Pakistan, for example, or anywhere else in the world, waterborne diseases become more
00:12prevalent. The cholera vaccine becomes very relevant as a preventive measure. We maintain
00:18stockpiles of the cholera vaccine. So when floods strike, mobilizing the cholera vaccine from our
00:26stockpile will actually help build resilience. I mean, temperature changes are glaring in our face,
00:33and when temperature changes happen, vectors start flourishing in places where they haven't
00:40flushed before. Diseases like malaria and yellow fever become more prevalent in areas that have
00:47been framed from these diseases. That's where our stockpile of the yellow fever vaccine becomes
00:54relevant. That's where the introduction of the new malaria vaccine becomes so relevant. So our work
01:01against climate-sensitive diseases is very relevant to the climate change agenda.
