This book contains a set of papers which explore the links among
climate change, health, and hazards and demonstrate how they
interact. It emphasizes the urgency of immediate and more ambitious
action to address climate risks. According to the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), human-induced climate change is
known to be causing dangerous and widespread disruptions in nature
and is affecting the lives of billions of people around the world,
despite efforts to reduce the risks. Climate change is also
negatively influencing health and is mounting threat to our
wellbeing and a healthy planet. The world is also facing
significant climate hazards over the next two decades, with global
warming expected to soon reach 1.5°C. Even temporarily exceeding
this warming level will result in additional severe impacts, some
of which may be irreversible. There is therefore a perceived need
for publications which may foster a greater understanding of how
climate change connects to human health and the role played by
hazards in this context. It is against this background that this
book is being prepared.
