This book provides a theoretical framework and related technical
skills for investigating climate change and its public health
consequences and responses with a focus on urban settings, and in
particular Hong Kong, a subtropical metropolis in Asia.
Specifically, the book examines the impact of climate change on
health in terms of mortality, hospital admissions and help-seeking,
as well as key response strategies of adaptation and mitigation.
Many existing books tend to consider the relationship of climate
change and public health as two connected issues divided into
various discrete topics. Conversely, this book explicitly applies
public health concepts to study the human impact of climate change,
for example, by conceptualising climate change impact and its
alleviation, mitigation and adaptation in a public health
framework. Overall, this volume summarises what is known about
climate change and health and ignites further debates in the area,
especially for urban subtropical communities from within a wider
global perspective. This book will be of great interest to students
and scholars of environmental health, public health, climate
change, urban studies and Asian studies.
