Climate change is a growing global concern, especially in low-resource settings such as rural India. This community-based cross-sectional study investigates how climate variability affects public health in rural areas, using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. A total of 400 respondents from rural India were surveyed using structured questionnaires, interviews, and focus group discussions. The findings highlight increased prevalence of heat-related illnesses, respiratory and vector-borne diseases, nutritional deficiencies, and mental health issues. Limited healthcare access and poor infrastructure exacerbate these issues. The study concludes with recommendations for climate-resilient health systems, targeted policy reforms, and local awareness programs to mitigate future risks.
