Abstract

For decades, researchers have debated whether climate change has an adverse impact on diseases, especially infectious diseases. They have identified a strong relationship between climate variables and vector’s growth, mortality rate, reproduction, and spatiotemporal distribution. Epidemiological data further indicates the emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases post every single extreme weather event. Based on studies conducted mostly between 1990-2018, three aspects that resemble the impact of climate change impact on diseases are: (a) emergence and re-emergence of vector-borne diseases, (b) impact of extreme weather events, and (c) social upliftment with education and adaptation. This review mainly examines and discusses the impact of climate change based on scientific evidences in published literature. Humans are highly vulnerable to diseases and other post-catastrophic effects of extreme events, as evidenced in literature. It is high time that human beings understand the adverse impacts of climate change and take proper and sustainable control measures. There is also the important requirement for allocation of effective technologies, maintenance of healthy lifestyles, and public education.

Highlights

  • Climate change is a significant statistical shift in regional or global climate variables over a considerable period of time

  • A remarkable rise of 1.5 ◦ C to 5.8 ◦ C in global mean temperature was predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in the 21st century, accompanied by more severe weather events dominated by floods and droughts [4,5]

  • Methods be well examined based on two components: Emergence and re-emergence of pathogenic diseases, As discussed earlier, the consequences of climate change on a variety of human diseases can be vectors, and favorable conditions for transmission and infectious disease outbreaks post weather well examined based on two components: Emergence and re-emergence of pathogenic diseases, events

Summary

Introduction

Climate change is a significant statistical shift in regional or global climate variables over a considerable period of time (decades or even more). Climatic conditions modulate the seasonal and geographic distribution ofhave vector-borne found that increased global temperature boosted skin-related diseases [20]. Being an inherent module of this rubric, climate change act as a vector-borne diseases, and weather influences the severity and timing of disease outbreaks [10,23]. Being an inherent module of this rubric, the present study provides a reconnaissance for the scrutinized and predicted impacts of climate climate change act as a background context and if changed, affects the susceptibility and transmission change pathogens and vectors. This disease-causing research put forward a systematic literature review numerous. The consequences of climate change on a variety of human diseases can
