A Review of the Significance of Big Data in Climate Change — the Greatest Threat to Humanity

The goal of this article is to present an overview of the connections between data analysis and climate change research and to explain how big data techniques can be used to manage sustainability climate challenges. There has been an increasing number of researchers in this field and an overview of the analysis and categorization of these climate-related Big Data publications highlighted the growing number of applications of data-driven solutions in certain fields, although broad integrative assessments are receiving less attention.

Introduction:

The disruption of food systems, exponential rise in zoonoses, food, water, and vector-borne diseases, as well as mental health problems are all significant effects of climate change on health. Extreme weather events like heatwaves, storms, and floods are also becoming more often.

Many of the social factors that influence health, such as access to healthcare, equality, and livelihoods, are being impacted by climate change. The most vulnerable and disadvantaged people, such as women, children, ethnic minorities, poor communities, migrants or displaced people, elderly populations, and those with underlying health issues, are disproportionately affected by these climate-sensitive health concerns.
