Cover Story: Climate change describes prolonged temperature and weather changes, arising naturally or deriving from human activities. Climate change impacts human well-being directly and indirectly, affecting agricultural production, housing, and employment opportunities, and causes chronic diseases and health crises. Extreme heat, weather events, and environmental pollutants impair immune responses, inducing inflammation and genomic instability. Furthermore, climate change modifies gut microbiota composition with additional consequences for human health. In recent years, climate change has emerged as a multidimensional problem. Understanding the mechanisms through which environmental factors contribute to disease development is essential to protect human health. View this paper
