Abstrakt: This systematic review evaluates the health impacts of climate-induced extreme weather events and the effectiveness of various adaptation strategies. Seventeen studies were analyzed, focusing on adaptation measures such as agricultural adjustments, renewable energy, ecosystem restoration, infrastructure redesign, and public health interventions. Significant health impacts were identified, including increased morbidity and mortality due to heatwaves, floods, and vector-borne diseases. The success of adaptation strategies was found to be highly dependent on local context, implementation capacity, and sustainability. This review underscores gaps in data quality, the generalizability of findings, and the integration of adaptation measures into public health policies. An urgent need exists for interdisciplinary approaches and community engagement to ensure sustainable, equitable health outcomes in the face of climate change. Future research should focus on these areas to strengthen public health resilience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
