Abstract

As the years progress from 1990 to 2023, the severity of climate change has been increasing. From pollution to global warming, this study focuses on the different impacts of environmental drivers on communities from a social sciences perspective. This research is being performed because of increasing mortality rates, lack of resources amongst communities, and the decrease recorded in overall global population health. The data being collected is through filtering environmental health literature articles and analyzing how each specific environmental stressors has affected different communities.
