Abstract

2024 was the warmest year on record [1]. Projections indicate that increasing temperatures will have a profound impact on the hydrological cycle with cascading effects on ecosystems, economies, and societies [2]. For people experiencing these changes, the combined effects can result in multiple and varied societal health risks, particularly for the most vulnerable [3]. These risks can only be effectively managed through a holistic approach that directly addresses the interconnected dynamics of water, health, and climate.
