Research Paper 2: The Impact of Climate Change on Human Health

Abstract: Climate change poses significant challenges to human health. Rising temperatures,
extreme weather events, and environmental changes contribute to a range of health issues,
including heat-related illnesses, respiratory problems, and the spread of infectious diseases.
This paper examines these impacts and highlights the need for proactive measures.

The effects of climate change are becoming increasingly evident, with serious implications for
human health. This paper investigates how changing climate patterns affect public health and
what can be done to mitigate these effects.

1. Heat-Related Illnesses: Higher global temperatures lead to heatwaves, which increase


the incidence of heat exhaustion and heatstroke, especially in vulnerable populations.
2. Respiratory Issues: Air pollution and rising pollen levels exacerbate conditions like
asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
3. Spread of Diseases: Changing ecosystems allow for the spread of vector-borne
diseases, such as malaria and dengue, into new regions.
4. Mental Health Impacts: Natural disasters and displacement caused by climate change
contribute to stress, anxiety, and depression.

Conclusion: Climate change is a public health emergency. Addressing its impacts requires
global collaboration, policy changes, and community awareness to protect health systems and
vulnerable populations.
