Inhaltsangabe

Climate change is no longer a distant environmental concern—it is a pressing public health crisis affecting populations across the globe.

This fifth edited volume brings together interdisciplinary research exploring the complex and evolving relationship between climate change and human health. Drawing on evidence from both developed and developing regions, including Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and India, the book highlights critical health challenges and emerging risks in a rapidly changing climate.

The contributors examine a wide range of interconnected issues, including maternal, neonatal, and child health and nutrition, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and the growing burden of mental health challenges and eco-anxiety among young people. The book also explores emerging environmental threats such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), microplastic contamination, and the public health implications of Sargassum. In addition, it reviews climate emergencies through the WHO climate-resilient health systems framework and discusses innovative solutions such as the health benefits of biochar in sustainable biopharming practices.

Grounded in rigorous, evidence-based research, this volume offers practical recommendations to mitigate the adverse health impacts of climate change. It serves as an essential resource for researchers, policy-makers, public health professionals, and practitioners seeking to integrate climate considerations into health systems, policies, and programs.

By bridging disciplines and geographies, this book contributes to the global dialogue on building resilient, equitable, and sustainable health futures.
