Ecosystems are the planet's life-support systems for humans and all other forms of life. Human biology requires food water, clean air, shelter, and relative climate constancy. Other health benefits include those derived from having a full complement of species, intact watersheds, climate regulation, and genetic diversity. Escalating human pressure on the environment can lead to direct health impacts, for instance, climate change impacts on agricultural production can lead to malnutrition, susceptibility to infectious diseases and other ailments. Human health is also impacted indirectly by environmental changes in the distribution of productive ecosystems and in the availability of food, water, and energy supplies. These changes will affect the distribution of infectious diseases, nutritional status, and patterns of human settlement.
