Abstract
AbstractClimate change has become a leading global concern, with far-reaching implications for human health. Its impacts reach beyond environmental degradation to affect physical health, mental health, and social health in mutually influential ways. This article reviews the influence of climate change on health across disciplines, citing threats such as long-term disease, eco-anxiety, displacement, and social inequality. By incorporating information from public health, psychology, and climatology, the conversation is centered on how increased temperatures, climate-related disasters, and ecological destruction cause disruptions to everyday life and make populations more vulnerable. The article also considers adaptive methods, such as therapeutic interventions, community resilience, and climate engineering measures, as possible means of reducing damage. It concludes that dealing with climate change as a comprehensive health issuerather than purely an environmental oneis crucial to protecting current and future generations.
