Beskrivning

Health Impacts of Climate Change: A Global Perspective confronts the most urgent reality of our time: the climate crisis is, at its core, a health crisis. Drawing from the latest research in climate science, public health, and policy, this book offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary look at how global warming is already endangering lives-and what can be done to protect them. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the direct health threats like heatstroke, air pollution, and disaster-related trauma, as well as the less visible dangers: rising zoonotic diseases, crop failures leading to malnutrition, and mental health challenges driven by climate-induced displacement. What sets this book apart is its unwavering focus on equity. It explores how climate change disproportionately impacts the most vulnerable-low-income communities, people in the Global South, and marginalized groups-who contribute the least to global emissions but bear the brunt of the damage. Through case studies, personal narratives, and policy analysis, the book amplifies frontline experiences and calls for climate justice as an essential part of any effective health response. More than just a diagnosis, Health Impacts of Climate Change: A Global Perspective provides a prescription for action. From practical strategies for healthcare professionals to frameworks for policymakers, this book empowers a wide range of readers-from students and researchers to community leaders and concerned citizens. It is an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand the links between climate and health and to join the growing movement toward a resilient, equitable, and healthier future for all.

  • Integrates cutting-edge research from climate science, public health, and policy to provide a holistic view of climate-related health impacts
  • Offers evidence-based strategies and practical tools for clinicians, policymakers, and communities to address health threats in a warming world
  • Examines the disproportionate health burdens of climate change on marginalized and low-resource populations, supported by epidemiological data and case studies, and underscores the necessity of integrating equity into climate-health policy responses
