How Does Climate Change Impact Public Health?

Climate change significantly impacts public health by altering the distribution of vector-borne diseases, such as malaria and dengue fever. Changes in temperature, precipitation, and humidity can expand the habitats of disease-carrying vectors like mosquitoes. Additionally, climate change can exacerbate respiratory conditions, increase the frequency of extreme weather events, and impact food and water security.
