Objective: to evaluate the scenarios of environmental change and climate crises and their influence on public health services. Content: Environmental changes and planetary climate crises are emerging from the contemporary scenario, producing multiform impacts that transcend geopolitical borders. As a result, there are significant gaps in public health systems, in relation to the health surveillance system, considering the attention of the Health Care Network (HCN) in caring for the affected population. This highlights the need for multidisciplinary and collaborative approaches to develop these participatory strategies. Final considerations: climate change, such as the increase in heat waves and the intensification of extreme events, impacts public health by increasing the incidence of respiratory and vector-borne diseases, as well as overloading health services in vulnerable regions. Adaptive measures are essential to mitigate these effects and strengthen the resilience of health infrastructures.
