The increasing level of CO2 in the atmosphere, drought, changing rainfall patterns, land use changes, and biological invasions, among other factors, are configuring a complex alteration process known as global change, which affects both natural and urban systems, in addition to people’s health and wellbeing.
One of the effects of global change is climate change, which results in temperature and precipitation variations and affects a range of factors, such as the water supply, biodiversity and floodability. It also favours the proliferation of certain invasive species that may act as vectors for epidemic outbreaks.
In addition to having a direct impact on the health and wellbeing of the population, climate change also exacerbates health inequalities by selectively affecting the most disadvantaged groups, as they are the least capable of adapting to it.
The 2015 Paris Agreement urges all countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in order to moderate the planet’s temperature increase. This entails unifying actions against climate change in all public policies, compliance with objectives like Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 13.1, 13.2, 13.3 i 13.a, and the implementation of mechanisms to adapt to the effects of climate change.
