Climate Change and Infectious Diseases

Climate change is increasingly influencing the spread, emergence, and severity of infectious diseases worldwide. Rising global temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, extreme weather events, and environmental disruptions are creating favorable conditions for pathogens, vectors, and disease transmission. Mosquito-borne, waterborne, and zoonotic infections are expanding into new geographic regions due to shifting ecosystems and climate conditions. The growing connection between environmental changes and public health highlights the urgent need for sustainable healthcare strategies, global surveillance systems, and climate-resilient disease prevention programs.
