Overview 

Climate change is no longer a future concern. Recognizing these growing concerns, GHMJ (Global Health Management Journal) announce the Call for Papers and Photo Essays for the June-July 2026 Special Issue. From devastating floods and coastal erosion to prolonged heatwaves and deteriorating air quality, the consequences of climate change are becoming a defining challenge for health systems and populations alike. This Special Edition seeks to explore how climate-related challenges influence population health and how communities, health systems, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners can work together to develop sustainable responses.
