Abstract
This research proposes an innovation in looking at the relationship between environmental awareness and health awareness in the midst of climate change. With a qualitative approach, we conducted a survey using a Likert scale questionnaire to evaluate the level of environmental awareness and health awareness among randomly selected respondents from various backgrounds. The results of the study show that there is a strong relationship between environmental awareness (EA) and health consciousness (HC). These findings indicate that individuals with higher levels of environmental awareness tend to have a deeper health awareness, perhaps due to an understanding of the impacts of climate change on human well-being. In conclusion, this research confirms that developing environmental awareness can be a gateway to strengthening health consciousness amidst climate change. To face the challenges of climate change, an integrated approach is needed, which combines knowledge of the environment with an understanding of the health implications. Suggestions for further research are to explore the role of education and social campaigns in building and maintaining eco-sustainability awareness. Further research could also involve in-depth analysis of the daily practices adopted by eco-conscious individuals, as well as how these practices contribute to overall personal and environmental health.
