Aim:
The Journal of Health and Climate Change (RMU) aims to serve as a leading platform for the dissemination of high-quality research and critical insights into the nexus between health and climate change. By advancing understanding in this field, the journal seeks to inform and influence policy, practice, and public awareness, thereby contributing to global health resilience and sustainable development.

Scope:
The scope of the journal encompasses a wide range of topics that explore the complex interactions between health and climate change. This includes, but is not limited to:

Health Impacts of Climate Change:

Investigations into how climate change affects physical and mental health, including the spread of infectious diseases, heat-related illnesses, and respiratory conditions.
Studies on the indirect effects of climate change on health through factors like food security, water quality, and air pollution.

Climate Change Mitigation and Health:

Research on strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and their health co-benefits.
Analysis of renewable energy, sustainable transportation, and other mitigation efforts that contribute to improved health outcomes.

Adaptation and Resilience:

Exploration of adaptive measures to protect health systems and communities from the adverse effects of climate change.
Case studies on building resilient health infrastructure and emergency preparedness in the face of climate-related disasters.

Policy and Governance:

Examination of policy frameworks that integrate health and climate objectives at local, national, and international levels.
Discussions on the role of governance in promoting sustainable health practices and climate resilience.

Equity and Vulnerability:

Focus on the disproportionate impact of climate change on vulnerable populations, including low-income communities, indigenous peoples, and marginalized groups.
Research on social determinants of health and strategies to address health inequities exacerbated by climate change.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Alignment:

SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being): Contributions that enhance understanding of how to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages in the context of climate change.
SDG 13 (Climate Action): Articles that advocate for urgent actions to combat climate change and its impacts, highlighting the health dimensions of climate action.
SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation): Research on the health implications of water-related challenges exacerbated by climate change.
SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities): Studies on urban health resilience and sustainable community planning.
SDG 2 (Zero Hunger): Exploration of the intersection between food security, nutrition, and climate change.

Interdisciplinary Approaches:

Encouragement of interdisciplinary research that brings together public health, environmental science, economics, sociology, and other relevant fields.
Emphasis on innovative methodologies and collaborative studies that provide holistic insights into health and climate issues.
