“…The remaining 31 papers focus on specific consequences of climate change, including extreme weather events like heat waves or cold spells, or cold climate implications in general (12) [67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80]. Additionally, topics such as wild fires and the associated air pollution (4) [81][82][83][84], permafrost degradation (5) [85][86][87][88][89], and health challenges connected with the impact of climate change on food and water security in the Arctic (10) [90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99], are explored. Most of the articles were studies from Russia (17) [50,51,58,63,[73][74][75][76]79,[83][84]…”

“…Human well-being and the health consequences of permafrost degradation have been studied for remote communities in the northern regions of Canada [88], Russia [85][86][87]89], and the USA [89]. Thawing permafrost has wide-ranging effects on the economy and infrastructure, directly and indirectly affecting human health and livelihoods.…”

“…Thawing permafrost has wide-ranging effects on the economy and infrastructure, directly and indirectly affecting human health and livelihoods. For instance, it can lead to the spread of infectious diseases and the seepage of toxic waste into rivers and groundwater [86,87]; it can damage road infrastructure and ruin buildings, restricting access to health facilities [86][87][88]. Additionally, thawing permafrost changes thermal conditions around ice cellars [85,89], worsening the overall living conditions of Indigenous and non-indigenous communities [86,88].…”

“…Despite the diverse challenges and health impacts of climate change, these efforts underscore the importance of taking consistent steps towards adaptation. This includes bolstering institutional initiatives, such as strengthening the healthcare infrastructure to ensure resilience in the face of climate-related health risks [44,50,56,82,87,93,96]. These strategies involve the implementation of comprehensive early warning systems for extreme weather events, air and ground pollution, and floods, enabling a timely response, as well and mitigation efforts, regarding these events, [49,50,57,70,71,73,74,77,78].…”

Over recent decades, the Arctic has begun facing a range of climate-related challenges, from rising temperatures to melting ice caps and permafrost thaw, with significant implications for ecosystems and human well-being. Addressing the health impacts of these issues requires a comprehensive approach, integrating scientific research, community engagement, and policy interventions. This study conducts a literature review to assess the effects of climate change on human health in northern latitudes and to compile adaptation strategies from the Arctic countries. A literature search was performed between January and April 2024 for papers published after 2000, using the electronic databases Web of Science, Pubmed, Science Direct, Scopus, Google Scholar, and eLibrary.RU, with specific questions formulated to direct the search: (i) What are the climate changes? (ii) How does climate change affect human health? (iii) What adaptation measures and policies are required? The key phrases “climate change”, “human health”, “adaptation practices”, and “Arctic” were employed for searching. Ultimately, 56 relevant studies were identified, reviewing health risks such as infectious diseases, mental health issues, and diseases connected with extreme weather events; wildfires and their associated pollution; permafrost degradation; pure water; and food quality. The paper also examines mitigation and adaptation strategies at all levels of governance, emphasizing the need for international cooperation and policy action to combat negative health outcomes, investments in healthcare infrastructure, emergency preparedness, and public health education. Incorporating diverse perspectives, including Indigenous knowledge, Community-Based Adaptation, EcoHealth and One Health approaches, is crucial for effectively addressing the health risks associated with climate change. In conclusion, the paper proposes adaptation strategies to mitigate the health impacts of climate change in the Arctic.
