CLIMATE CHANGE AND HUMAN HEALTH

Abstract

Climate change is a global threat. Natural and anthropogenic activities both are responsible for climate change. It adversely affects the agricultural system, human beings, and other species existing in this world. In the case of human beings, it affects both internal and external organs. It transmits many diseases, including infectious and vector-borne diseases. Malaria is spread throughout the tropical & subtropical regions by climate change. It impacts 247 million individuals worldwide 619,000 people were killed in 2021, up from 229 million infections and 409,000 decrease in 2019. An increase in temperature, more frequent rainfall, and storms increase the chances of respiratory, cardiac, nervous, and gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea. The ozone layer is depleted by an increase in temperature and causes skin cancer. As the planet warms, it increases risks from extreme weather conditions, increasing sea altitudes, and altering disease patterns, increasing human health problems and mortality rates. Disaster managers must adapt to these conditions, monitoring trends and adjusting policies accordingly.
