What Are Some Examples of Diseases Affected by Climate Change?
Several diseases are closely linked to climate variables. Examples include:
Vector-borne Diseases: Diseases like malaria, dengue, and Zika are heavily influenced by changes in temperature and precipitation. Waterborne Diseases: Cholera and other diarrheal diseases are affected by flooding and changes in water quality. Respiratory Illnesses: Increased air pollution and allergens due to climate change can exacerbate conditions like asthma.
