Abstract
Climate change and climate-sensitive disasters caused by hydrological, meteorological, and climatic hazards have a significant and increasing direct and indirect impact on human health, leading to an increased risk of death, disease, and injury. Due to its vast area, complex geographical and ecological environment, and various climatic conditions, Russia is one of the countries that suffer a lot from frequent climate and weather hazards. The review provides information about weather extremes in Russia in 2010—2020 — floods, typhoons, freezing rain, droughts, and their impact on the health and livelihoods of the population. It is concluded that while most of the dangerous hydrometeorological events cannot be completely avoided, many health impacts can potentially be prevented through early warning systems and public health preparedness and response measures, through the establishment of climate-resilient health systems and other management structures.
