Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Higiene ambiental  Ciencias del clima  Sostenibilidad  Public health  Climatología Clasificación: 613.1 Resumen: Este libro de acceso abierto no solo describe los desafíos que plantea la alteración del clima, sino que también presenta soluciones. Los desafíos descritos incluyen la contaminación del aire, el cambio climático, las condiciones meteorológicas extremas y los impactos relacionados con la salud que van desde el estrés térmico, las enfermedades transmitidas por vectores, la inseguridad alimentaria y del agua y las enfermedades crónicas hasta la desnutrición y el bienestar mental. La influencia de los seres humanos en el cambio climático se ha establecido a través de abundantes pruebas e informes publicados. Sin embargo, las conexiones entre el cambio climático, la salud del planeta y el impacto en la salud humana no han recibido el mismo nivel de atención. Por lo tanto, el enfoque global sobre los impactos del cambio climático en la salud pública es un área de interés relativamente reciente. Este enfoque es oportuno ya que los científicos han llegado a la conclusión de que los cambios en el clima han provocado nuevos fenómenos meteorológicos extremos, como inundaciones, tormentas, olas de calor, sequías e incendios, que a su vez han provocado más de 600.000 muertes y el desplazamiento de casi 4.000 millones de personas en los últimos 20 años. Los trabajos anteriores sobre los impactos del cambio climático en la salud se limitaban principalmente a enfoques y resultados epidemiológicos y se centraban menos en colaboraciones multidisciplinarias y multifacéticas entre científicos físicos, investigadores de salud pública y formuladores de políticas. Además, se prestó poca atención a los enfoques éticos y basados ​​en la fe para abordar el problema. Las soluciones y acciones que exploramos en este libro involucran a diversos sectores de la sociedad civil, el liderazgo religioso y el liderazgo político, todos orientados por la ética, la defensa y la política, con un enfoque especial en las poblaciones pobres y vulnerables. El libro destaca áreas que creemos que resonarán ampliamente entre el público, los líderes religiosos, los investigadores y los estudiantes de todas las disciplinas, incluidas las humanidades, y los formuladores de políticas.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This open access book not only describes the challenges of climate disruption, but also presents solutions. The challenges described include air pollution, climate change, extreme weather, and related health impacts that range from heat stress, vector-borne diseases, food and water insecurity and chronic diseases to malnutrition and mental well-being. The influence of humans on climate change has been established through extensive published evidence and reports. However, the connections between climate change, the health of the planet and the impact on human health have not received the same level of attention. Therefore, the global focus on the public health impacts of climate change is a relatively recent area of interest. This focus is timely since scientists have concluded that changes in climate have led to new weather extremes such as floods, storms, heat waves, droughts and fires, in turn leading to more than 600,000 deaths and the displacement ofnearly 4 billion people in the last 20 years. Previous work on the health impacts of climate change was limited mostly to epidemiologic approaches and outcomes and focused less on multidisciplinary, multi-faceted collaborations between physical scientists, public health researchers and policy makers. Further, there was little attention paid to faith-based and ethical approaches to the problem. The solutions and actions we explore in this book engage diverse sectors of civil society, faith leadership, and political leadership, all oriented by ethics, advocacy, and policy with a special focus on poor and vulnerable populations. The book highlights areas we think will resonate broadly with the public, faith leaders, researchers and students across disciplines including the humanities, and policy makers.
