Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between climate change and the incidence of infectious diseases, presenting empirical evidence from various regions. It explores how shifts in temperature, precipitation, and humidity affect the spread of vector-borne, waterborne, and zoonotic diseases. In addition, the paper examines human adaptation strategies to mitigate these risks, focusing on public health policies, infrastructure improvements, and behavioral changes. Our findings highlight the growing need for adaptive measures as climate change intensifies the threat of infectious diseases, especially in vulnerable populations. The study suggests integrated approaches that combine scientific research, public health interventions, and sustainable policies to combat these challenges.
