Climate Change and One Health
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper argues that human health cannot be managed without caring for animal health and the ecosystem. Underlining their interconnectedness and advocating a One Health policy, it examines how climate change affects the three as an interlinked dynamic system. Before listing the challenges and opportunities for bettering health outcomes it explores the major impacts of climate change: heat stress, food security, deforestation, climate variability and disease vectors, biodiversity loss, etc.
