Summary

This review examines the two-way relationship between climate change and microplastic pollution: plastic production generates greenhouse gases, while extreme weather events spread microplastics further into the environment. The study uses a One Health framework to argue that addressing microplastic pollution and climate change together is essential for protecting human, animal, and environmental health.

Abstract The production, dispersal, and accumulation of microplastics (MPs) are interconnected with climate change. Plastic production, which involves fossil resources like oil, generates greenhouse gas emissions during extraction and processing, contributing to global warming. Simultaneously, climate change influences the dispersion, fragmentation, and accumulation of MPs; extreme weather events facilitate plastic transport to the sea and natural environments. The increasing environmental impact of MPs poses a global challenge. This review focuses on the dispersion of MPs due to climate change, with attention given to the "One Health" approach. This promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, recognizing the interrelationship of human, animal, and ecosystem health. Crucial for a broad perspective on global health, the "One Health" approach emphasizes the need to understand and address MPs in the environment. In conclusion, implementing protocols for health monitoring and educating the public on responsible plastic management are essential. These preventive indications can help mitigate the effects of MPs, promoting a sustainable lifestyle from a One Health perspective. Graphical Abstract
