Abstract

Der Klimawandel stellt bedeutende Herausforderungen für die globale Gesundheit dar und hat weitreichende Auswirkungen auf die menschliche Gesundheit und das Wohlbefinden. Diese umfassende Übersicht synthetisiert Evidenz aus verschiedenen Disziplinen, um die komplexe Beziehung zwischen Klimawandel und Gesundheit zu verdeutlichen. Schwerpunkte liegen auf den direkten Auswirkungen extremer Wetterereignisse, Veränderungen in der Übertragung von Infektionskrankheiten, Luftqualitätsveränderungen, Problemen der Ernährungssicherheit und den Auswirkungen auf die psychische Gesundheit. Besonders betroffen sind vulnerable Bevölkerungsgruppen wie einkommensschwache Gemeinschaften und indigene Völker, was die Notwendigkeit gezielter Interventionen und gerechter Anpassungsstrategien unterstreicht. Methodisch wurde eine Suche in peer-reviewter Literatur durchgeführt, die Studien bis zum Jahr 2024 abdeckt. Sowohl quantitative als auch qualitative Studien wurden einbezogen, und eine thematische Analyse wurde angewendet, um Muster und Trends zu identifizieren. Die Übersicht hebt Lücken in aktuellen politischen Rahmenwerken und internationalen Kooperationsbemühungen hervor und fordert eine verstärkte Zusammenarbeit und Wissensaustausch, um den vielschichtigen Herausforderungen des Klimawandels für die Gesundheit zu begegnen. Darüber hinaus sind proaktive Anpassungsmaßnahmen, eine robuste öffentliche Gesundheitsinfrastruktur und inklusive Strategien entscheidend, um die negativen Gesundheitsauswirkungen zu mindern und die Widerstandsfähigkeit zu stärken. Durch prioritäre gemeinsame Maßnahmen und interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit können wir einer gesünderen und widerstandsfähigeren Zukunft im Angesicht des Klimawandels entgegenwirken.
