This is the first world pandemic in a hundred year, why should it become common ?

I think Climate change, population growth, travel, antimicrobial resistance are all good candidates in increasing the risk of this happening more often.
Everything else, yes, but climate change? I can't imagine how climate change can significantly affect probability of next pandemic.
Displaced people? Displaced animal populations?
Also, warmer temperatures will benefit a lot of diseases in a lot of places.
