Many people would be increasingly affected by living under critical conditions because global warming pervasively affects human life and undermines the years of gains in public health.
A change in climate would be expected to cause changes in the geographical range, seasonality (intra-annual variability), and in the incidence rate (with or without changes in geographical or seasonal patterns). The influence of climatic factors is complex and varies according to the region. A clearer understanding on the current role of climate change in human health will be able to improve forecasts of potential future impacts of projected climate change and support action to reduce such impacts.
In this context, understanding the relationship between diseases and climatic conditions is extremely necessary in view of possible changes in current weather patterns and the increase in records of extreme weather episodes and events. Therefore, knowledge about the relationship between climate and diseases is of fundamental importance to align surveillance actions at the local and national levels, providing subsidies for the establishment of assertive measures of control, planning and intervention, as well as for articulating intersectoral actions for the mitigation of diseases.
