Abstract Climate change is increasingly recognized as a significant driver of emerging infectious diseases, with the potential to catalyze next global pandemic. This paper explores complex interplay between climate and emergence novel pathogens, emphasizing environmental, ecological, socio-economic factors that contribute disease transmission. Rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, habitat destruction are reshaping ecosystems, bringing humans into closer contact zoonotic reservoirs vectors. These changes amplify risk spillover events, seen in recent outbreaks. The study identifies key challenges, including inadequate surveillance systems, limited cooperation, disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations. Furthermore, it proposes adaptive measures such enhanced early warning integrated One Health approaches, climate-resilient public health infrastructure. By addressing these challenges implementing proactive strategies, community can mitigate climate-driven pandemic strengthen preparedness for future crises. underscores urgent need interdisciplinary collaboration policy innovation safeguard face changing
