Abstract

The rising number of droughts due to climate change raises serious concerns for public health. This issue may lead to an increase in cancer cases. The study closely examines the relationship between prolonged droughts & cancer rates. It specifically takes into account poor water quality, elevated exposure to cancer-causing agents, along with challenges in agricultural systems. To clarify the connection between climate change-induced droughts and elevated cancer risk, artificial intelligence (AI) will be employed in this study. AI tools & models will assist in predicting the cancer risks associated with these droughts. Additionally, this research aims to enhance early detection methods & develop targeted prevention strategies. By integrating insights from climate science, public health, and Artificial Intelligence, the goal is to provide practical recommendations for mitigating and preventing cancer risks in regions severely impacted by drought. The primary objective here is to equip policymakers, healthcare professionals, & researchers with reliable strategies. Such strategies will bolster public health as we confront the realities of a shifting climate. This paper adopts an exploratory research design to delve into the risks of cancer linked to climate-induced droughts.
