Introduction
It is well acknowledged that one of the most pressing and complicated
issues confronting humanity in the twenty-first century is climate
change(1,2). Its effects on human health are, nevertheless, frequently
disregarded or undervalued(3,4). Numerous factors, including extreme
weather, infectious diseases, food instability, water scarcity, and
mental stress, are among the ways that climate change affects health.
The most marginalized and vulnerable groups are disproportionately
affected by these health effects, which are not dispersed equally around
the world. As a result, addressing the effects of climate change on
health is a moral and ethical matter in addition to a scientific and
technical one. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects
of climate change on health from a multidisciplinary standpoint and to
suggest fair and practical remedies for the hidden pandemic endangering
the welfare of millions of people(5). Climate change has far-reaching
effects that go beyond changes in the environment and affect human
health in its most basic forms(6). More and more studies have recently
come to light, shedding light on the many and often subtle ways that
climate change is a sneaky force that is quietly reshaping the planet’s
health(7–9).Public health is facing previously unheard-of difficulties
as a result of changes in temperature, precipitation patterns, and the
frequency of extreme weather events brought on by human activity that is
changing the Earth’s climate. Comprehending the intricate relationship
between climate change and human health is not just a theoretical
endeavour; it is a pressing need as societies struggle with the health
emergencies that are quietly arising as a result of environmental
changes(10,11) Fundamental to this investigation is the understanding
that climate change is more than just an increase in temperature; it
also triggers a host of health hazards that frequently exist in the
shadows. For example, the frequency and intensity of heat waves are
rising, which directly affects human health by putting vulnerable groups
at higher risk of heat-related illnesses and mortality. A compounding
health crisis can also result from changed precipitation patterns,
extreme weather events, and the development of infectious illnesses, as
well as disruptions to the healthcare system and shortages of food and
water. The reason this epidemic is quiet is that it spreads slowly and
is difficult to detect, therefore scientists need to find the hidden
links between climate change and health outcomes.
