商品描述

The global climate crisis is one of the most defining challenges of our time, with profound implications not just for the environment, but also for human health. While the impacts of climate change are felt worldwide, they are disproportionately severe in developing countries, where populations are more vulnerable due to economic, social, and infrastructural limitations.

This book, Climate Change and Health: Perspectives from Developing Countries, seeks to bring attention to the unique challenges faced by these nations, while also highlighting their innovative solutions and resilience in the face of an increasingly unstable climate.

This book brings together a wide range of perspectives from researchers, healthcare professionals, and community leaders from across the developing world. It explores the diverse ways in which climate change is affecting health, drawing on case studies, especially from Africa, Developing regions face different challenges, from rising sea levels to food insecurity, but they also share common experiences of vulnerability and resilience.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

全球氣候危機是我們這個時代最具決定性的挑戰之一,對環境和人類健康都有深遠的影響。雖然氣候變遷的影響在全球範圍內都能感受到,但在發展中國家,這些影響尤其嚴重,因為這些地區的人口因經濟、社會和基礎設施的限制而更加脆弱。

本書《氣候變遷與健康:來自發展中國家的觀點》旨在引起人們對這些國家所面臨的獨特挑戰的關注,同時突顯它們在面對日益不穩定的氣候時所展現的創新解決方案和韌性。

本書匯集了來自發展中國家的研究人員、醫療專業人士和社區領袖的廣泛觀點。它探討了氣候變遷如何以多樣的方式影響健康,並引用了特別來自非洲的案例研究。發展地區面臨著不同的挑戰,從海平面上升到糧食不安全,但它們也共享脆弱性和韌性的共同經歷。
