Recenzii
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
Drawing from up-to-the-minute research and filled with compelling examples and illustrations, this incisive volume comprehensively summarizes the effects of climate change on health and presents a set of actionable strategies that can protect the health of all people as well as the planet. It is a must-read for public health and medical students, health leaders, and policy makers worldwide.
This book is the premier reference work for the rapidly growing community of health professionals and researchers concerned about the burgeoning threats posed by climate change to the health of the public now and in the future. It comprehensively reviews the evidence of impacts in diverse settings and describes the adaptation and mitigation actions that must be taken to safeguard health as far as possible in the face of the climate emergency. This book should be required reading for all those who want to understand the complex risks confronting humanity and the transformative policies that must be implemented to reduce them. It is imperative that societies worldwide make rapid progress towards a healthy net zero future and this book provides a roadmap of how to achieve that goal.
A thoughtful and state-of-the-art compilation on the knowledge of the impact of climate change on human health. It is written by the top scholars in the field and meticulously edited. It should be required reading for all those seeking the best science on the topic.
We talk often about the health of the planet. But climate change directly threatens the health of the people on that planet. And that may prove to be one of the strongest avenues for building public action. This is a powerful book.
This book may serve as an introduction to this enormous and, at times, seemingly insurmountable problem that we have created for ourselves. It also provides an overview of some of the tools that can be used to begin to reverse the damage we have done.
this edition is geared more toward individuals with an interest in the effects of climate change on health in general.
