Climate change has emerged as one of the most significant environmental challenges affecting human health across the globe. Environmental geography examines the interactions between human societies and the natural environment, making climate change a central concern due to its widespread impacts on ecosystems, resources, and population well-being. Rising global temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, sea-level rise, and an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events have profound consequences for public health. One of the most direct impacts of climate change on human health is heat-related illness. Increasing temperatures and prolonged heatwaves lead to heat exhaustion, heatstroke, dehydration, and increased mortality, particularly among the elderly, children, outdoor workers, and individuals with pre-existing medical conditions. Urban areas experience the urban heat island effect, where built-up surfaces absorb and retain heat, further increasing health risks. Climate change also influences the spread of infectious diseases. Warmer temperatures and changing rainfall patterns create favourable conditions for disease vectors such as mosquitoes, ticks, and flies. Diseases like malaria, dengue fever, chikungunya, Zika virus, and Lyme disease
