The Effects of Climate Change on Human Health: A Review

‌The 21st century presents a serious risk to world health due to climate change. To raise public awareness, this study looked into the effects of climate change on health. This review study reviewed the literature and global research to investigate how climate change affects human health. The findings show that infectious diseases, dehydration, cardiovascular, respiratory, and skin diseases are among the illnesses linked to rising temperatures, heat waves, and climate change. Injuries, respiratory conditions, mental health issues, and dangerous aquatic infections are the main ailments linked to flooding and increasing sea levels. Lyme disease and malaria are two examples of vector-borne illnesses brought on by global warming. Respiratory illnesses and other issues brought on by deteriorating air quality are among the issues brought on by forest fires and psychological disorders. Vulnerable populations are generally more likely to be impacted by climate change, including children, the elderly the disabled, and pregnant women. Climate change has an impact on several areas, including mental health, non-communicable diseases, poisoning, diseases linked to malnutrition and food insecurity, water and foodborne illnesses, and reproductive health care. Because there are many direct and indirect implications of climate change on human health, responsible institutions need to use the media to inform the public and take appropriate action to mitigate these effects.
