With climate change, exposure to floods has increased and is linked to adverse health outcomes, such as injuries, diseases, and mental health harms, all of which are greater in vulnerable populations.Yao Wu, M.B., B.S.Bo Wen, M.B., B.S....
Frequent climate induced disasters, like floods, cyclone, storm surges, disruption of agricultural system and shortage of food for growing population would have decisive impact on human health. Bangladesh, which is one of the most vulnerable countries due to climate change, suffers from floods almost...
A panel of doctors said rising global temperatures would have a catastrophic effect on human health through floods, droughts and rising sea levels. "Even the most conservative estimates are profoundly disturbing and demand action," said the doctors. "Climate change is the biggest global health threa...
Climate change exerts substantial and escalating impacts on human health, with projections indicating a further intensification throughout the 21st century.1 The health impacts can be directly due to extreme weather events such as heatwaves,2,3 floods, and the intensity of storms4,5 or indirectly ...
Prolonged health risks following floods Post-flood hospitalization risks exist and persist for months, with variations by climate type, flood severity, age, population density, and socioeconomic status. Lingzhi Chu Kai Chen News & Views01 May 2025Nature Water ...
The scientific consensus is that global warming is occurring and is largely the result of greenhouse gas emissions from human activity. This paper examines the health implications of global warming, the current socio-political attitudes towards action on climate change and highlight the health co-bene...

The Impact of Climate Change on Human Health Climate change is a global phenomenon that has become a pressing issue in recent years. It has been linked to several environmental challenges, including rising sea levels, droughts, floods, and extreme weather conditions. However, the impact of ...
Climate change projections include increases in extreme events (heatwaves, droughts, floods, wildfires), and changes to environmental determinants of health such as air, food and water quality. The nature and extent of these impacts is strongly influenced by environmental factors, and...
Floods are becoming more frequent and severe, with major impacts on human health. Here, authors show increased risks of infant mortality associated with flood exposure, and the risks remain elevated for up to four years after the flood event. ...
