Climate change stands as one of the most pressing challenges of our time, affecting various aspects of our planet and human existence. Amid discussions about its environmental consequences, we often overlook the significant connection between climate change and infectious diseases. However, as global temperatures continue to rise, it becomes increasingly evident that climate change has far-reaching implications for human health, particularly concerning the spread of infectious diseases.
The Global Impact of Climate Change
The effects of climate change are becoming increasingly apparent worldwide. Escalating global temperatures disrupt weather patterns, leading to more frequent and severe heatwaves, droughts, floods, and storms. These extreme weather events have direct and indirect impacts on human health, such as community displacement, heightened food and water insecurity, and mental health challenges.
