Synopsis

Sustainable development goals were established by 2030 to put an end to neglected tropical diseases. This study aims to analyze the incidence of tropical diseases due to climate change worldwide and focuses on Latin America. A bibliography review of the incidence of tropical diseases as a consequence of climate change was conducted based on the PRISMA 2020 declaration criteria. There were studied thirteen studies that met the inclusion criteria: seven studies show that tropical diseases threaten public health; three studies have data on the incidence of tropical diseases worldwide caused by climate change and detail how this dependence is generated. Three articles contain information on the problem studied, focusing on Latin America. There is evidence that tropical diseases are increasing due to the effects of climate change and are becoming a threat to health. The danger comes from the emergence and re-emergence of diseases that were eradicated and that are not only located in tropical regions but are expanding. Therefore, it is essential to implement national plans that promote environmental care and mitigate the effects that alert national health systems
