Question
Could climate change lead to new types of diseases?
✓

Answer

Yes, climate change can lead to new or increased disease risks. Warmer temperatures and changing weather patterns can expand the range of disease-carrying vectors like mosquitoes (e.g., malaria, dengue), alter water quality, and create conditions for new pathogens to emerge or spread more easily.
