Abstract	Abstract: This review highlights the crucial role of medicinal plants and their secondary metabolites in treating various health issues. However, rapid climate change is a major threat to these plants, contributing to the decline of wild medicinal species. The review examines how climate change affects the distribution and life cycles of these plants, including the impact of high CO2 and ozone levels, temperature changes, and drought on secondary metabolite synthesis. These environmental factors can have both positive and negative effects on the yield and quality of medicinal plant products. Given the complexity of these impacts, the review calls for further research into the interactions of climate change and its effects on medicinal plants to better understand and mitigate potential risks. The effect on medicinal plants, which are crucial to human health, is one area of worry, especially in areas where access to Western medicine is limited. Climate change poses several dangers to these plants, including changes in temperature and precipitation patterns, strained ecological interactions, an increase in pests and diseases, and fragmentation of their habitat, all of which can make it more difficult for them to move and thrive. Furthermore, these difficulties are made worse by unsustainable harvesting methods, which may lead to the loss of several species of medicinal plants. Additionally, the quality and safety of medical goods may be impacted by climate change since it may modify the chemical makeup of medicinal plants in addition to reducing plant biomass. The report suggests the following measures to resolve these issues: 1) Preservation and regional production of important medicinal herbs.2) Harvesters’ certification and training in sustainability
