The challenge
Dengue is the world’s fastest-spreading mosquito-borne disease, and climate change is accelerating its global transmission, shifting endemic zones and burdening health systems. In this evolving context, dengue requires urgent, coordinated, and cross-sectoral global action.
What we do
The CAD aims to amplify proven solutions, consolidate evidence, and center country and regional voices so local realities inform policies and ensure integrated approaches to dengue become part of broader climate–health resilience strategies. CAD operates through three thematic working groups—Urbanization, Finance, and Innovation—with advocacy and climate as cross-cutting enablers.
Mission
Accelerate integrated efforts to control dengue – acknowledging the increasing impact of climate change – through collective action among diverse stakeholders.
Approach
The CAD drives field level impact by amplifying proven solutions and consolidating evidence into durable, investment-ready goods. By centering country and regional voices, CAD ensures that local realities inform global policy, and that integrated approaches to dengue become part of broader climate-health resilience strategies.
CAD’s Unique Value Proposition
CAD connects and amplifies existing efforts, elevating proven tools, evidence, and approaches into climate-resilience agendas without duplicating or replacing them.
