(i) Elevated momentum trends
(ii) Irreversible changes
(iii) Social as well as spatial inequality
(iv) Deteriorating of international harmony
(v) Less costly to prevent than to cure
With unexpected crisis like COVID-19 the climate change projections and health
impact related to climate change may not emerge as predicted. But nevertheless
theory proposed by scientist should not be seen in isolation with practice as in the
past where global carbon emission did not slow down until COVID-19 crisis.
Despite impact of climate change has become more evident the response from
health policy as well as health policy has been minimal (Ossebaard and Lachman
2020) that was reflected during COVID-19 crisis with shortage beds, doctors, and
paramedical staff.
At the mid of 2020 COVID-19 locked down of more than 6 billion people of the
planet with the pandemic outbreak affecting almost 208 countries and territories
across the globe. The data of COVID-19 cases from January 2020 to 5th June 2020
revealed that most of the nations located in the relatively lower temperature region
showed a rapid raise in the COVID-19 compared to countries in the warmer climatic
regions (Iqbal et al. 2020).
