Climate Change

Climate Change and Public Health Implications

Climate change poses growing risks to human health through heat stress, disease transmission, food insecurity, and extreme events. This track examines the direct and indirect health impacts of climate change, with emphasis on vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and low-income communities. Topics include climate-sensitive diseases, health system preparedness, and adaptive healthcare strategies.

The second paragraph explores policy responses, early warning systems, and cross-sector collaboration that strengthen climate-resilient health systems. Case studies highlight integrated approaches that link climate data with public health planning. This track reinforces the importance of embedding health considerations into climate strategies to protect populations and enhance resilience.
