Abstract
Social and ecological factors for infectious diseases have received much attention in public health science. This chapter adopted an integrated approach to understand the effects of COVID-19 on public health policy amid climate change. First, a brief history of the one health approach, syndemic theory, and a socio-ecological model were analyzed. Then, case reports on wildlife, domesticated animals, and pets with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) were described. Next, prevention measures and economic crises during the COVID-19 pandemic were organized in terms of their environmental effects. Social inequality and vulnerability during the COVID-19 pandemic were examined by using syndemic theory. Finally, the double exposure framework was used as an integrated tool comprising the one health approach, syndemic theory, and social-ecological model. The framework also illustrates the importance of the social and ecological dimensions of the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change.
