Environmental Health: The Impact of Climate Change on Human Health – With a Focus on Uzbekistan

Abstract

Climate change poses a growing threat to global public health. Its effects are felt through increasing temperatures, natural disasters, water scarcity, and air pollution. In Uzbekistan, these changes are exacerbated by regional challenges, such as the Aral Sea crisis, leading to widespread respiratory illnesses and ecological degradation. This article explores the relationship between environmental health and climate change, focusing on its direct and indirect impacts on human health. Special attention is given to Uzbekistan’s ecological challenges, public health implications, and the importance of adaptation strategies.
