The goal of this study was to develop and ...
Climate change will affect human health in many ways—mostly adversely. Here, we summarise the epidemiological evidence of how climate variations and trends affect various health outcomes. We assess the little evidence there is that recent global warming has already affected some health outcomes. We ...
current health burdens and risk estimates are outlined as well as health impacts from the well-documented 2003 heatwave over Europe. The sensitivity of O3and PM to changes in
In the past decades, climate change has been impacting human lives and health via extreme weather and climate events and alterations in labour capacity, food security, and the prevalence and geographical distribution of infectious diseases across the globe. Climate change and health indicators (CCHIs)...
Polluted air and steadily rising temperatures are linked to health effects ranging from increased heart attacks and strokes to the spread of infectious diseases and psychological trauma.
negative impact on human health is that coastal regions are susceptible to flooding and storm surges that cause property damage and the population can be exposed to water-borne infections. In addition, freshwater can become contaminated with salt water which may affect agriculture and drinking water ...
A recent international study in the Lancet says that many more people will be exposed to extreme weather events over the next century than previously thought—“a potentially catastrophic risk to human health” that could undo 50 years of global health gains.Solutions are in the works. In flood...
The UN Ocean Conference offers a rare opportunity for countries to correct their course on ocean health. Editorial20 May 2025Nature Volume: 641, P: 821 Hurricane risk in a changing climate — the role of uncertainty When it comes to modelling how global warming will affect storms hitting the ...
will affect air quality. Here, we evaluate the implications of future climate change on air quality and human health in China using dynamically down- scaled climate and air quality modeling (North Carolina State University’s modified Community Earth System Model [CESM- NCSU] downscaled with the ...
Climate change could affect food supplies,water resources,human health and homes. If greenhouse gas emissions keep increasing at the current rate,global temperature is expected to rise between 2°C and 6°C by 2100.This doesn't sound much,but a 5°C change is the difference between the ...
