| Abstract | ||||
| Climate change, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is the greatest threat to humanity in the twenty-first century. Despite the fact that microorganisms play a significant role in climate change regulation, they are rarely the subject of climate change studies or considered in development programs. It has been demonstrated that there is a link between infectious disease epidemics and environmental changes, including climate change events. Pathogenic bacteria are likely to emerge and re-emerge in several countries. As a result, millions of susceptible people's lives, particularly in poor countries, will be threatened. Improving global infrastructure and disease surveillance systems, as well as supporting health observatories, would aid in detecting the effects of climate change on pathogen (re)emergence. Human, animal, and environmental ecosystems could face catastrophic consequences as a result of climate change. There is a need for understanding deep understanding of the role of microbes in climate change and the effect of climate change on microbial ecosystems and other human activities. Also, preparedness programs should be established to face the different impacts of climate change events. | ||||
