| SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | "When climate disasters like hurricanes, heatwaves, and tsunamis strike, they reveal the inequities of our social, political, and economic structures. They also lay bare the negative impacts of these structures on the health and safety of all people, and particularly socioeconomically vulnerable groups. With original contributions from scholars from a wide range of diverse fields-including environmental studies, public health, legal studies, urban planning, literary studies, and nursing-Climate Justice and Public Health examines this nexus of climate change, which has become impossible to ignore in the twenty-first century. Expanding the climate and health equity discussions to populations all over the globe, the contributors in this volume address an impressive and broad range of topics that include Indigenous health and cultural practices, mental and emotional health, senior health, and impacts on African American communities. Collectively, they present radical new ways of confronting these issues and propose holistic solutions"-- Provided by publisher. |
