Health Awareness and Education Toolkit to Improve Climate Health

Mateo Daniel

Poor air quality, wildfires, extreme weather that causes social disruption, vector-borne illnesses, and death have all been linked to climate change, making it one of the biggest threats to global public health. In addition, climate change increases the risk of food and housing insecurity, increases environmental toxins, and stresses mental and physical health. People are also more likely to sustain injuries caused by climate change because of social inequalities in access to the resources and opportunities necessary for optimal health. Numerous risk factors for injury and disease are increasing as a result of climate change, which has a significant impact on human health as a whole.
