What effect of climate change has a direct impact on human health?

The increase in vector-borne diseases

Climate change influences the spread of infectious diseases, notably those transmitted by vectors such as mosquitoes and ticks. The increase in temperatures and changes in precipitation patterns can expand the favorable habitats for these vectors, extending their geographical range and thus increasing the risk of transmission of diseases like malaria, dengue, and Lyme disease. This direct impact on human health underscores the importance of adopting mitigation and adaptation measures to protect the most vulnerable populations from the health consequences of climate change.
