Abstract

This article a brief discussion on the relationship between climate change and disease emergencies. To this end, it will be divided into three parts: in the first, a general notion about climate change and its impact on human and environmental health will be presented; in the second, the interference of climate changes and the cycle of disease spread; in the last, last discussion on the limits of adaptation and climate resilience strategies. The central concept of the article is that climate change and environmental degradation result in systemic damage to the global health of human beings, animals and the environment, which requires the construction of measures that go beyond the simple expansion of networks and infrastructures. Sanitary. Thus, considering that health and disease more than an individual biological trait, they are socially and environmentally determined, which is why mitigation and resilience measures also require an adaptation of human behavior to nature, understood as a complex of physical and biological relationships with autonomous historicity.
