Short description:
Now updated with key developments in mitigation and adaptation from the last decade, Climate Change and Public Health, Second Edition offers an engaging overview of climate change and its health consequences alongside evolving methods for climate resilience.
MoreLong description:
This second edition of Climate Change and Public Health comprehensively covers the health impacts of climate change, including heat-related and respiratory disorders, vectorborne and waterborne diseases, malnutrition, mental disorders, and violence. It provides a thorough understanding of the policymaking process and energy, transportation, and agriculture policies for mitigation. It covers health adaptation, sustainable built environments, and nature-based solutions to address climate change. Finally, it describes ways of strengthening public and political support, including communicating the health relevance of climate change, building movements, and promoting climate justice.
If you want to know why you should care about climate change, read this book. The authors aren't politicians or policy makers or pundits. They're public health professionals who walk through the science facts and data analysis. And in the end, after reading each chapter, you will be left with the undeniable fact that the threat of climate is not only real, it's really about you and your family's health and well-being. But this book doesn't stop there. It shows us that we can reduce the pollution that is destabilizing our planet by shifting to technologies, practices and products that will save millions and millions of lives every year. So what are you waiting for? Read the book and then go out and act on climate
