Environment and Health: Need to Rebuild and Maintain Balance

Abstract

Adaptation is one of the most important virtues for the survival of any organism, including humans. During the past few decades, the issue of climate change has been considered one of the most significant problems faced by humanity and has been debated extensively. The surge of pandemic COVID-19 affected virtually every aspect of our life, including the world economy, education, development, etc. to an apparent standstill. It took the life of our near and dear and left several with irreversible damage. COVID−19 reminds us of lessons about responding to climate change and behavioral responses to global challenges. The re-emergence and increasing burden of human Monkeypox cases are also getting global attention. Every disease has its remedy; we just have to decode it. If we want to reverse the degradation of our environment, we must take some difficult actions and modify our habits and behaviors. The required personal changes are at times difficult and sometimes manageable and straightforward. Through proper environmental health engineering, we must concentrate on a
different level of prevention. When the environments where we live, work, and play are safe and free of risks that might harm people’s health, we are said to be living in good environmental health.
