Climate Change And Its Impact On Human Health

Abstract

Climate plays a significant role in people's health. Environmental consequences of climate change, such as extreme heat waves, rising sea-levels, changes in precipitation, intense hurricanes, and degraded air quality, affect directly and indirectly the human health. Climate change brings an increase in malnutrition, mental health conditions, infectious disease spread and even death. Appropriate mitigation and adaptation strategies will positively affect both climate change and the environment, and thereby positively affect human health. This paper focuses on the impacts of climate change on the physical, social, and psychological health of humans.
