This paper presents a risk stratified approach to better understand the potential impact of these complex intersecting challenges. We advocate for a 'call to action' to encourage national and international stakeholders to further develop, implement and evaluate strategies to better assess NTD endemicity, and deliver interventions, in areas at risk of, or experiencing, conflict and climate disasters, in order to help meet the national targets.
