Climate change and its impact on health
Keywords:
climate change, CO emissions2, diseases, infectionsAbstract
Climate change is a serious threat to global public health, with potential consequences ranging from physical and respiratory illnesses to mental health problems and food security. Mitigating these impacts requires concerted efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt health systems to new challenges. The objective of the research is to reflect on the impacts that climate change is causing on health today. The methodology used was qualitative research, based on a bibliographic review. The result was that the globalized world and greenhouse emissions are causing continuous illnesses in people; society must create communication programs that train the population to reduce the impacts that climate change is causing today.
