**2. Methodology**

The current study constitutes a systematic review of the literature regarding the impact of climate change on human health and well-being. Relevant sources were identified using an exhaustive search strategy utilizing Google™ Scholar, PubMed, EBSCO, Bioline International, as well as any relevant cross-referenced articles and websites. Specific search terms included "climate change," "global warming," "invasive species," "emerging infectious diseases," "public health," "food security," "sea level change," "quality of life," and "vector-borne diseases." A total of 17,194,311 search results were subsequently narrowed down to 1,247 interdisciplinary full-text, English language articles directly relevant to our discussion. Further screening demonstrated 479 articles that directly address questions related to the interaction between climate change and human health and wellness. Of those, a final list of 266 definitive sources was derived.
