This contributed volume explores the intersection between climate change, vulnerable communities, and health. It includes a variety of case studies that highlight how changing physical and social environments impact the health of communities across geographies. The COVID-19 Pandemic and climate change together highlighted how social disparities and environmental inequalities in our society affect the health and well-being of people and places impacted by modern crises. This new volume, which appears in the book series Extreme Weather and Society, addresses the plight of socially vulnerable people and communities dealing with extreme weather and other latent and emerging risks. This book is meant for people who have an interest in climate change, extreme weather, and their impact on people and places around the world. Special focus is placed on the knowledge of local populations and the imperative to engage with people within the context their local culture, ethnicity, and geographies. The book is interdisciplinary and crosses the fields of geography, environmental studies, environmental science, climate science, environmental health, emergency management, environmental sociology, social work and public health among others. The book will appeal to anyone who studies, makes, or carries out social and environmental policy—especially to community leaders who must respond to health and environmental challenges within the context of social disparities.
