Climate Change Impacts on Health in Remote Indigenous Community: A Case of the Great Andamanese Community in Andaman Islands, India

This study examines the impacts of climate change on the health of the remote indigenous community of the Great Andamanese, in the Andaman Islands. The study explores the unique vulnerabilities of this community to climate change and its impact on their health and well-being. It examines the risks to health brought due to factors associated with climate change, such as increasing temperatures, altered rainfall patterns, severe weather events, rising sea levels, and others. The study also assesses the adaptive capacity of the Great Andamanese and identifies potential adaptation strategies to mitigate the health impacts of climate change. The findings of this study provide insights into the intersection of climate change and health in remote indigenous community and contribute to the development of context-specific interventions and policies to safeguard their health and well-being. This study has employed a mixed-method research method, which integrates both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. This paper has provided a comprehensive understanding of the impacts of climate change on the health of remote indigenous community. The content analysis has been adopted as a qualitative method to find relations between climate variables and health outcomes, considering factors like temperature, precipitation, and extreme events. Conduct regression analysis to assess the association between the year of census and the growth of the Great Andamanese population.
