A major objective of this volume is to create and share knowledge
about the socio-economic, political and cultural dimensions of
climate change. The authors analyze the effects of climate change
on the social and environmental determinants of the health and
well-being of communities (i.e. poverty, clean air, safe drinking
water, food supplies) and on extreme events such as floods and
hurricanes. The book covers topics such as the social and political
dimensions of the ebola response, inequalities in urban migrant
communities, as well as water-related health effects of climate
change. The contributors recommend political and social-cultural
strategies for mitigate, adapt and prevent the impacts of climate
change to human and environmental health. The book will be of
interest to scholars and practitioners interested in new methods
and tools to reduce risks and to increase health resilience to
climate change.
