Heat stress causes illness but also may account for an increase in workplace accidents, and a decrease in worker productivity. [5] Worker injuries attributable to heat include those caused by: sweaty palms, fogged-up safety glasses, and dizziness. [2] Burns may also occur as a result of accidental contact with hot surfaces or steam.
Climate change is altering the geographic range and seasonality of some insects that can carry diseases, for example Aedes aegypti, the mosquito that is the vector for dengue transmission. Global climate change has increased the occurrence of some infectious diseases. Infectious diseases whose transmission is impacted by climate change include, for example, vector-borne diseases like dengue ...

Climate hazards such as flooding, heat waves and drought have worsened more than half of the hundreds of known infectious diseases in people, such as malaria, hantavirus, cholera and even anthrax ...
Climate change is driving extreme weather By all accounts, the last few years have been brutal for the climate — and for the humans and other living things within it. Around the globe, heat ...
Some climate change effects: wildfire caused by heat and dryness, bleached coral caused by ocean acidification and heating, environmental migration caused by desertification, and coastal flooding caused by storms and sea level rise. Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...

[9]: 133 In other words, the effects of physical climate hazards such as a heat wave or heavy rain events. This direction of research was shaped by earlier natural hazards research and it emphasised physical changes and energy flows in the landscape. It aims to quantify and measure the impacts of an event on the environment and on people.
