Abstract
The challenge posed by shifting climatic conditions has emerged as one of the most critical issues of our time, carrying significant implications for human well-being. This research seeks to investigate climate events’ impact on individual health on a global scale. In order to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the intricate relationship between climate events and the health of global citizens, we analyze a diverse array of data sources, encompassing epidemiological studies, climate records, and health indicators. This study examines the direct and indirect effects of climate events, such as heat waves and extreme weather occurrences drawing upon authoritative epidemiological research. Furthermore, it explores the secondary repercussions of climate-induced disruptions, including alterations in the trend of cardiovascular diseases, which have been observed to heighten the overall health burden. The primary objective of this study is to advance our comprehension of the intricate interplay between climate change and global public health. The findings will underscore the pressing necessity to address climate-changing events as a paramount public health concern, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive, evidence-based policies that safeguard human well-being amidst an increasingly volatile climate. By combining empirical evidence with a broader understanding of social and environmental determinants of health, we aspire to assist decision-makers in implementing proactive measures to protect and promote the health of populations worldwide in the face of a changing climate.
