The February 2007 draft report from the United Nations' Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change documented the potential impact of global
warming on malaria; diarrheal diseases; floods and landslides; and
malnutrition. Scientists also forecast climate-related increases
in allergies, asthma, skin cancer, dengue, Lyme disease, heatstroke,
sleeping sickness, and a host of other ailments. This article examines
how pharmaceutical companies can respond to these challenges, for
example by developing medicines and vaccines. Marilyn Serafini
is a staff writer with the National Journal.
