Climate change is one of the most pressing global health challenges of the 21st century. It poses a significant threat to public health, with the potential to affect millions of lives worldwide. The rising temperatures, more frequent extreme weather events, shifting disease patterns, and impacts on food and water security are all contributing to a growing burden on global health systems. This article explores the primary health impacts of climate change, the challenges faced by healthcare systems, and the potential solutions to mitigate these effects. It highlights the importance of global cooperation, early intervention, and sustainable policies in combating climate-related health risks.
