Introduction:
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing the world today, with a wide range of implications for public health. The increasing frequency and severity of climate-related disasters, such as hurricanes, wildfires, and heatwaves, have a significant impact on the health and well-being of populations around the world. These disasters can lead to a wide range of health issues, including injuries, respiratory problems, mental health disorders, and the spread of infectious diseases.
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the effects of climate-related disasters on public health, with a focus on understanding the mechanisms through which these disasters impact health outcomes and identifying strategies to mitigate these effects. By examining the existing literature on this topic and conducting original research, this thesis aims to contribute to our understanding of the complex relationship between climate change and public health.

Thesis Overview:
Climate change is a global phenomenon that has far-reaching implications for public health. The increasing frequency and severity of climate-related disasters are a major concern for public health professionals, as these events can have a significant impact on the health and well-being of populations around the world. This thesis aims to explore the effects of climate-related disasters on public health, with a focus on understanding the mechanisms through which these disasters impact health outcomes and identifying strategies to mitigate these effects.
The thesis will begin with an introduction that provides an overview of the research topic and outlines the objectives of the study. This will be followed by a literature review that examines the existing research on the health effects of climate change, vulnerable populations, adaptation strategies, and policy implications. The research methodology section will describe the study design, data collection methods, and analysis techniques used in the study.
The discussion of findings section will present the results of the study, including an analysis of the health impacts of climate-related disasters, factors influencing vulnerability, and mitigation strategies. This section will also discuss the policy implications of the findings and provide recommendations for public health practice. Finally, the conclusion and summary section will summarize the key findings of the study, discuss the implications for public health policy and practice, and provide recommendations for future research.
