Climate Change and Waterborne Disease: A Dangerous Connection

Climate change is altering weather patterns, leading to more extreme events like floods and droughts. This scientific report underscores how those shifts increase the risk of waterborne infections and intoxications. Cholera, harmful algal blooms, and other water-related illnesses are likely to become more prevalent and severe. The study calls for proactive measures to protect water quality and improve public health surveillance in the face of climate instability.
