Climate, weather and environmental change have significantly influenced patterns of infectious disease transmission, necessitating the development early warning systems to anticipate potential impacts respond in a timely effective way. Statistical modelling plays pivotal role understanding intricate relationships between climatic factors transmission. For example, time series regression spatial cluster analysis been employed identify risk predict temporal diseases. Recently advanced spatio-temporal models machine learning offer an increasingly robust framework for uncertainty, which is essential climate-driven surveillance due dynamic multifaceted nature data. Moreover, Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, including deep neural networks, excel capturing hidden within climate data sets. Web-based has emerged as powerful complement other datasets encompassing variables occurrences. However, given complexity non-linearity climate-disease interactions, techniques are required integrate analyse these diverse obtain more accurate predictions impending outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics. This article presents overview approach creating with focus on statistical model suitability selection, along recommendations utilizing techniques.

This study delves into types intensities of conflicts likely caused by in developing countries from 1995 to 2020. Through a country-year panel analysis, it isolates impact rising global greenhouse gas emissions on conflict occurrence. Findings consistently show significant positive association conflicts, especially low-intensity internationalized intrastate Additional tests confirm these results' robustness, including heterogeneity substitution key explanatory variables, sensitivity alternative analytical methods. The analysis highlights how environmental scarcity due drives small-scale within countries, while geopolitics also lead wars. recommends that developed international community support building resilience against advocates for collaborative efforts mitigate its adverse effects security.

Due to several factors, such as environmental and climate changes, the risk of health threats originating at human–animal–environment interface, including vector-borne diseases (VBDs) zoonoses, is increasing. Low-resource settings struggle counter these multidimensional risks due their already-strained systems are therefore disproportionally affected by impact caused changes. Systemic approaches like One Health (OH) sought strengthen prevention preparedness strategies addressing drivers potential with a multidisciplinary multisectoral approach, considering whole system interface. The integration OH in national plans can be challenging lack effective coordination collaboration among different sectors.
