Abstract– One of the biggest threats to living things is thought to be climate change. This also applies to aromatic and medicinal plants. Changes in temperature ranges, weather occurrences, seasonal patterns, and further associated singularities have all been partially analysed, recorded, and linked to worldwide climate modification. In addition to deteriorating the quality of vegetation, climate change is creating awful environmental conditions that have a major negative impact on human health. Our primary goals are to preserve traditional knowledge, teach farmers, cultivate locally valuable species, and raise public awareness of the concerning properties of climate variation on medicinal plants. Climate change brought on by human activities has disastrous effects on different animals worldwide. The prime root of climate change is the bigger emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, primarily CO2. Research shows how well we understand how changing climate conditions affect medicinal plants. Different climate change patterns cause abiotic stress, which can also influence developing physiology, expansion pattern, biomass production reductions, phytochemical active components, and overall safety and quality of medicinal plants. After looking through a number of review papers, we have attempted to provide a complete overview of the field because the specific information about how climate change is affecting medicinal plants.
