Global Climate Change, Population Displacement, and Public Health
Global Climate Change, Population Displacement, and Public Health
This timely text examines the causes and consequences of population displacement related to climate change in the recent past, the present, and the near future. First and foremost, this book includes an examination of patterns of population displacement that have occurred or are currently underway. Second, the book introduces a three-tier framework for both understanding and responding to the public health impacts of climate-related population displacement. It illustrates the interrelations between impacts on the larger physical and social environment that precipitates and results from population displacement and the social and health impacts of climate-related migration. Third, the book contains first-hand accounts of climate-related population displacement and its consequences, in addition to reviews of demographic data and reviews of existing literature on the subject.

- Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans
- Hurricane Maria and Puerto Rico
- The California Wildfires
- Fleeing Drought: The Great Migration to Europe
