Abstract :Climate and environmental changes are a major public health threat with major multidimensional impacts on people. Women may be more vulnerable to climate-sensitive diseases, and the symptom burden, especially in the menopausal period, increases vulnerability to these changes. Increases in global temperature may exacerbate vasomotor symptoms of menopause, such as hot flushes and night sweats, and psychological and urinary problems. In addition, increased environmental pollution and toxin exposure may also affect the age of menopause by causing a decrease in ovarian function. Both increased menopausal symptoms due to climate change and environmental changes are also associated with adverse effects on cardiovascular, urinary, and cognitive problems. All these show the importance of addressing women in this period in terms of health sensitivity. Although the literature focuses on the effects of climate and environmental changes on women\\\'s reproductive health, studies on the effects of menopause are limited. This review aims to draw attention to the importance of interventions aiming to reduce the effects of climate and environmental changes on menopausal women. But also, it may contribute to health professionals taking holistic measures and planning interventions that increase physical, psychological, and sociocultural well-being for the effects of climate and environmental changes on menopausal women.
