Abstract

The title "Impact of Climate Change on Public Health: Adaptation and Mitigation Strategies" highlights the pressing need to address the profound implications of climate change on human health. This paper delves into the multifaceted consequences of climate change, including rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and altered ecosystems, which all pose significant threats to public health. The abstract outlines the critical role of both adaptation and mitigation strategies in safeguarding public health in the face of such challenges.
