The Impacts of Climate Change on Human Health and Strategies to Increase the Resilience of Societies

Climate change and its associated risks are among the greatest challenges of the 21^st century, with effects that extend beyond the environment to significantly impact both physical and mental health. The increased incidence of respiratory, cardiovascular, infectious, and mental health disorders resulting from the climate hazards disproportionately affects vulnerable groups such as the elderly, children, and individuals with underlying health conditions. The research indicates that rising  of global temperatures, air pollution, and prolonged heatwaves can influence the distribution of water- and vector-borne diseases, leading to the spread of illnesses like Malaria, Cholera, and other infections caused by the contaminated water resources. Urban and industrial communities experience heightened rates of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, while tropical and semi-tropical regions face increased heat-related mortality, reduced labor productivity, and higher healthcare costs. This research aims to examine both the direct and indirect effects of climate change and its associated risks on human health. In addition to analyzing current challenges, it proposes solutions such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving healthcare systems, raising public awareness and education, implementing integrated governance, and fostering collective participation to enhance community resilience against climate impacts. Overall, the goal of current research is to provide a comprehensive perspective on the linkage between climate change and public health and to propose strategies for mitigating its negative impacts.
