The issue of climate change has become a serious health concern in the world, and it is an area that has predisposed the emergence of new infectious diseases (EIDs) while overwhelming public health systems like never before. In this paper, the relationship between climate change and EIDs will be reviewed to determine the effects of changes in temperature, precipitation, and extreme weather on the distribution of diseases such as malaria, dengue, cholera, and zoonotic infections. Statistical analysis suggests that the increase in temperature in new areas by 10-30 % causes malaria and a 50 % increase in dengue outbreaks in new places with altered rainfall patterns. Also, there are extreme weather conditions, such as flooding, which have been associated with a 30 % escalation of cholera cases. The analysis also appears to not take into consideration the fact that health systems, particularly those of low- and middle-income countries, are fragile and that the scarcity of resources compounds the climate-related health risks. The paper notes that the adaptive measures require immediate action, such as empowering healthcare systems, enhancing early disease detection, and building climate-resilient infrastructure. It also emphasizes the need to employ interdisciplinary research, improve data integration, and engage in international collaboration to forecast and prevent the health consequences of climate change. The future scope is to improve predictive models, advance technology, and...
