        abstract = {The present study aimed to explore the level of awareness regarding health issues caused by climate change among residents of selected communities in Firozabad. The objectives included: assessing the knowledge of individuals about climate change-related health problems; determining the relationship between demographic factors and knowledge levels; and preparing and distributing informative pamphlets on the subject.
A quantitative research design was employed, involving 30 participants chosen through convenience sampling from selected areas in Firozabad. Data were collected using a demographic data sheet and a structured questionnaire, following a brief explanation of the study to participants. The collected data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods in alignment with the study’s objectives.
The results indicated that 40% of participants had inadequate knowledge, 20% demonstrated a moderate understanding, and another 40% had adequate knowledge regarding health problems linked to climate change. There was no statistically significant relationship between knowledge scores and demographic variables such as age, type of family, education level, and source of information, housing type, or water supply. However, a significant association was found with occupation.
The study highlights the need for increased awareness and education on climate change-related health issues, especially within specific occupational groups. The findings carry important implications for nursing practice, education, administration, and suggest directions for future healthcare initiatives and research},
