How Climate Change Impacts our Health

Climate change is impacting human health in multiple ways. Heat-related deaths have increased significantly, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events like heatwaves, floods, and wildfires have risen, resulting in deaths, injuries, displacements, and mental health problems. Respiratory illnesses are worsening due to increased air pollution caused by wildfires, dust storms, and rising temperatures. Finally, the spread of vector-borne diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus is increasing as disease-carrying insects expand their range with rising temperatures.
