Abstract

The main objective of this research paper is to analyze the impact of climate change on the health sector through a multipart of mutually supporting relations in South Asian Countries similar to India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan and basically to provide techniques of organization and adaption of health-related effects. More estimates of the impacts of climate change on health in different tropical belts viz. plains, deserts, foothills, hilly and coastal areas are needed. Estimates are also required at the city level in order to inform decision making. The World Bank has made the following recommendations in this regard to climate change and health in the Asian country. Moreover, this research shows the changes in the sample and circulation of disease-spreading insects, viruses, bacteria and increasing rate of deaths during the last decade due to bigger frequency and rigidness of heatwaves and other intense weather actions by dint of secondary data. Warmer and weather conditions will lead to more vector-borne diseases like malaria, dengue is fever and deaths. The rise in temperature and maturing frequency of heatwaves will boost the incidences of illness and death in all South Asian Countries. Therefore, in view of the aforesaid, this paper highlights the impact of climate change on the health sector in India from a legal point of view.
