IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND INCOME: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH
This study investigates the interaction between climate change, socioeconomic status, and health across various life stages.Employing a multidisciplinary approach, we analyze how climate change impacts population health and how these consequences vary depending on individuals' economic status.Additionally, we examine income distribution through the GINI coefficient as a key measure to assess the direct economic impact of climate change. Our findings confirm the relationship between climate change and health, emphasizing the vulnerability of disadvantaged groups such as children and the elderly to extreme weather conditions and related illnesses. The need for mitigation and adaptation strategies that consider these health disparities is underscored. Furthermore, the influence of socioeconomic status on the relationship between climate change and health is highlighted, emphasizing that individuals with limited resources often face more significant risks. This study also provides relevant and demonstrable economic insights into how climate change affects individuals' incomes, highlighting the importance of addressing these issues comprehensively in policy formulation. This study offers a holistic view of how climate change, socioeconomic status, and health are interconnected. The findings emphasize the necessity of public policies that simultaneously address these aspects to ensure a healthier and more equitable future for all individuals.
