This book reveals the environmental, economic, and social drivers of climate-induced migration, the health impacts of extreme weather events, and the complex interplay between malnutrition, disease diffusion, and mortality in vulnerable populations. By collating cutting-edge research and case studies from leading experts, this edited book offers an in-depth exploration and holistic view of the interconnectedness of climate change and a shift of global population dynamics. By integrating perspectives from climate science, public health, sociology, and migration studies, the book delivers a holistic understanding of the ways in which climatic extremes such as heatwaves, floods, droughts, rise of temperature, sea level rise, and coastline change are reshaping human lives and communities, migration patterns, human displacement, exacerbating health vulnerabilities, affecting morbidity and mortality rates, and challenging public health systems globally. Section I delves into the nexus of climate change and population dynamics, providing ahistorical and contemporary overview of how climatic extremes impact human populations. Section II focuses on migration patterns, featuring case studies and analyses of the environmental, economic, and social drivers behind climate-induced displacement. Section III addresses the critical health impacts of climatic extremes, including the spread of diseases, mental health implications, and the strain on healthcare systems. Section IV presents a statistical and case study analysis of mortality rates in the context of extreme weather events, droughts, and food security crises. Finally, Section V explores policy implications and future directions, offering predictive models and innovative policies aimed at mitigating health impacts and achieving climate resilience in line with sustainable development goals. By providing evidence-based research and policy recommendations, this book aims to inform strategies that enhance resilience and adaptive capacity in vulnerable communities. This book is an invaluable resource for academics, policymakers, and practitioners dedicated to building a more resilient and equitable world.

With almost a third of the world's population living in South and Southeast Asia, these regions are particularly vulnerable to climate catastrophes such as rising sea levels, harsh weather, and changing disease patterns. They have impacted the regions to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and Goal 13 (Climate Action), which also put a burden on healthcare systems, especially among vulnerable populations.This book explores the impact of climate change on both physical and mental health, healthcare infrastructure, and practices in these vulnerable regions, proposing strategies for resilience and preparedness. In addition, the volume offers case studies and state-of-the-art research, providing insights into the infrastructure problems and health hazards associated with climate change. The book begins with an examination of the health effects of climate change, including heatwaves, poor air quality, vector-borne diseases, psychological impacts and nutritional insecurities. The second section focuses on healthcare systems, climate-resilient facilities, supply chain adjustments, and the role of telemedicine and climate-focused public health surveillance. The final section evaluates policy responses, community resilience, and international cooperation, including financial mechanisms to support climate-resilient health systems. The book is a valuable resource for policymakers, healthcare professionals, and researchers, and it provides evidence-based insights and practical recommendations to strengthen public health frameworks against the growing climate challenges in South and Southeast Asia.
