Abstract

Global climate change is a challenge for environmental protection in the 21st century. The images of the ice that has emerged from the broken and melting glaciers are visible in the melting ground of Alaska and Africa. These images are a good example of the ecological impacts and climate change that planet Earth is currently experiencing, which is rarely discussed; but the real damage of climate change is on human life. So far, there has been a lot of research, all of which focus on the environment; but health has been discussed from its very few effects. In this library research article, climate change, which has effects in different areas, such as direct, indirect effects and psychological effects, is discussed in this article.
