Abstract
Climate change is one of the most serious dangers to human health in the 21st century. Climate extremes, air quality, sea-level rise, and water supplies all have a direct impact on human health. Climate change has an influence on infectious diseases as well. In this chapter, the authors explained the influence of climate change on human infectious diseases. The authors also discuss how society may respond to and adapt to climate change. The variables influencing the spread and severity of human diseases were explored as well. These variables include human and animal migration, control methods, medication availability, human behavior, and the quality of public health facilities. The authors also discuss the importance of genome research in climate change and infectious diseases. Finally, as the world faces present and future difficulties in climate change and an increased threat of infectious diseases, the authors emphasize on the importance of scientific networks and collaborations for effective multidisciplinary engagements.
