As an important part of the natural environment on which human beings live, any change in climate will affect the natural ecosystem, social economy and human health. The impact of global climate change on human beings will be comprehensive, multi-scale and multi-layered. This paper mainly explores the research progress on the direct and indirect impacts of climate change on human health. It considers that the impacts of climate change on human health mainly include the following aspects: 1) heat wave effects; 2) extreme weather events; 3) insect-borne infectious disease; 4) hunger and malnutrition. In the end, the paper puts forward some suggestions about how to confront with the prevention of various diseases in the context of climate change. The impact of climate change on human health will be the focus of future research, which deserves much attention both at home and abroad.
