Climate change and health: Hidden threats and sustainable prospects
Keywords:
climate change, public health, sustainable development, health equity, vector-borne diseases, mental health, food security, resilienceAbstract
Background: Climate change is becoming a bigger problem around the world that has big effects on people's health. Direct effects on health, like heatwaves and worsening air quality, are well known. But hidden threats, like the rise of vector-borne diseases, food shortages, and mental health problems, have not been fully studied. These threats affect vulnerable groups more than others, making health disparities worse. To deal with these problems, we need long-term, diverse solutions that boost robustness and lower risks. Aim: The point of this study is to look into the hidden health risks that climate change poses and to look at long-term ways to lower these risks, with a focus on improving global health equality and resilience. Methods: Findings from peer-reviewed journals, world health records, and climate change reports are put together in this study. Case studies of areas that have been impacted and data breakdowns are used to show how climate change and health are connected in a complicated way. Green healthcare systems, neighborhood resilience programs, and global policies are some of the sustainable solutions that are looked at in detail.
