Climate Change and Spheres of Influences

This book explores the relationship between climate change and its profound impact on global health, particularly through the lens of infectious diseases. It delves into how rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and more extreme weather events are contributing to the spread of diseases like malaria, dengue, and waterborne infections. By examining historical evidence, current trends, and predictions for the future, the book highlights the disproportionate effects of climate change on developing regions and the urgent need for global action. It provides insights into how climate change is reshaping the geography of disease transmission and the challenges it poses to public health.

Climate change, driven by an imbalance of incoming and outgoing radiation in the atmosphere, is leading to rising global temperatures and shifting weather patterns. These changes have significant implications for human health, particularly in the spread of infectious diseases. As warmer temperatures and altered rainfall patterns expand the geographic range and seasonal distribution of diseases like malaria, dengue, and cholera, the risk to vulnerable populations increases. This book examines how climate change is influencing disease transmission, the impact on developing regions, and the challenges of mitigating these effects. It also calls for a sustainable response to the health challenges posed by a changing climate.
