To overcome the adverse effects of climate change on human health, it can not be done alone by their respective countries. These efforts will only succeed if it is done through global cooperation, such as increased surveillance and control of infectious diseases, ensuring the growing use of ground water receded, and coordinate emergency health measures.

It is all important because climate change is clearly a result of human activities that do not care about the balance of nature, which then serious implications on public health. In addition to causing health problems, climate change also resulted in a variety of natural disasters is very large.
