How global warming does influences our health and well-being?
In all forms of media, the issues of global warming and climate change are currently
being extensively debated. There is never a day without some mention of these subjects. They
are linked to discussions about rising greenhouse gas concentrations, fossil fuel emissions of
carbon dioxide, emissions reduction, production of renewable energy, sustainability of the
planet's finite resources, and other related issues. The current climate change is faster than most
previous events, making it more difficult for human societies and the natural world to adapt. This
research area is crucial for everyone as its causes affect our daily lives. The paper will mainly
examine how global warming influences our health and well-being.
Numerous factors, including climate change, environmental and human-made health
stresses, and global warming, impact human health and disease. New health threats will appear,
and some current health threats will become more serious. The hazards to public health posed by
wildfires and ground-level ozone pollution are rising, according to the National Center for
Environmental Health (U.S.) (2020). Increased respiratory and cardiovascular disease, injuries
from extreme weather events, changes in the prevalence and geographic distribution of food- and
water-borne illnesses, other infectious diseases, and dangers to mental health are some of the
health repercussions of these disruptions (National Center for Environmental Health, 2020).
Brusseau et al. investigate that an estimated 150,000 people died in 2000 due to global climate
change (2019). According to estimates, 2.4% of diarrhea cases worldwide, 6% of malaria cases
in some middle-income nations, and 7% of dengue fever cases in some industrialized countries
are all related to climate change (Brusseau et al., 2019). Brusseau et al. study has shown that,
between 2030 and 2050, the effects of global climate change will result in an additional 250,000
fatalities per year (2019). Therefore, it may be said that global warming's impact is both serious
3
and crucial to humanity.
Creating and executing coordinated and sustainable plans to manage socio-environmental
changes and the climate at the global, national, and subnational levels is a widespread call.
According to Dhimal et al., policy and plans must be created to address the effects of climate
change on health (2021). Such action plans are a very effective integrative tool for managing
diseases and risks influenced by the climate. Their implementation is a huge but doable issue,
and it can only move forward if gender, population, environmental challenges, and creative
solutions are considered (Dhimal et al., 2021). Dhimal et al., have also stated that a participatory
process is needed to effectively manage the numerous effects of climate change on health and
enhance human welfare worldwide (2021). This process should include empowering youth,
women, indigenous groups, and sustainable international cooperation.
With significant health effects that are expected to show in various ways in various parts
of the world, global warming poses a dilemma for public health on a worldwide scale. Climate
change contributes to the expansion of pests and pathogens into new areas and the deterioration
of many existing diseases and disorders. Children, the elderly, the impoverished, and individuals
with health issues are at higher risk for adverse health outcomes due to climate change. Actions
that are preventative and adaptive, including installing early warning systems for extreme
weather, and enhancing water infrastructure can lessen the intensity of these effects. Still, their
efficacy is constrained by some expected dangers from climate change.
