Public health planning in India is witnessing a growing emphasis on climate-responsive strategies as rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and changing disease patterns impact population health. Authorities and experts are focusing on preparedness, early warning systems, and integrated health-climate data to mitigate climate-linked health risks.
Heat stress, vector-borne diseases, and air-quality-related illnesses are being increasingly recognised as critical public health challenges linked to climate variability. Strengthening healthcare infrastructure, nutrition support, and preventive care is viewed as essential to safeguarding vulnerable communities against climate-induced health impacts.
