Over the past decades, climate change has emerged as a significant threat to public health. Beyond its direct impact on health, such as pre-mortality and mental health problems, climate change also generates indirect social and economic consequences and public health problems tied to extreme weather conditions. This study aims to investigate the impact of climate change related factors on the high prevalence of adult obesity. A panel data set from 2011 to 2020 is employed to estimate impact of several climate-related factors and socio-economic factors on prevalence of adult obesity. The findings indicate a negative association between the percentage of the population working from home and the prevalence of adult obesity. Additionally, higher CO2 emissions are linked to an increase in the percentage of the population with obesity.
