2 Climate change can also contribute to population displacement and migration, with negative effects on health and well-being. We introduce a new JAMA Insights series intended to inform clinicians about how climate change affects diagnoses, treatment, medical practice, and population health. Climate ...
The new JAMA Insights series on climate change and human health is in keeping with this mission by providing practical information about climate change and its relationship to changes in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human disease. Although documenting a causal link between climate change an...
Children and youth are vulnerable to the threat of climate change, yet potential non-health impacts, such as those on global education outcomes, are not well understood. In this cross-disciplinary review, we synthesize research linking climate change-related stressors with children’s education outco...
Climate change is expected to severely and adversely impact mental health at a global scale. Climate change has a wide range of impacts on human health, such as accelerating the transmission of infectious diseases, increasing mortality due to heatwaves and air pollution (Watts et al., 2019), ...

Climate change affects mental health through multiple pathways, including direct and indirect impacts, physical health and awareness of the climate crisis. Climate change increases the magnitude and frequency of extreme events with little or no time for
Dr. Howard Bauchner, editor-in-chief of JAMA, said one of the strengths of the paper produced by Patz and his colleagues is that it sidesteps the ongoing argument over what is causing climate change. "Regardless of the debate about what's causing climate change, there is a greater acknowl...
Climate change will not only affect the cardiovascular health of an unborn child. Disaster related prenatal maternal stress has been associated with cognitive, motor and speech delay in infancy and early childhood (Suzanne et al. Citation2012). Recent research highlights the alarming permanence of ear...
Climate change-related cardiovascular disease is mediated by air pollution, increased ambient temperatures, vector-borne disease and mental health disorders. Climate change-related cardiovascular disease can be modulated by climate change adaptation; however, this process could result in significant health ...
Urological diseases and their varied forms of management warrant special attention in the setting of climate change. Regarding urological cancers, climate change will probably increase the incidence and severity of cancer diagnoses through exposures to c
