"""This book is the premier reference work for the rapidly growing community of health professionals and researchers concerned about the burgeoning threats posed by climate change to the health of the public now and in the future. It comprehensively reviews the evidence of impacts in diverse settings and describes the adaptation and mitigation actions that must be taken to safeguard health as far as possible in the face of the climate emergency. This book should be required reading for all those who want to understand the complex risks confronting humanity and the transformative policies that must be implemented to reduce them. It is imperative that societies worldwide make rapid progress towards a healthy net zero future and this book provides a roadmap of how to achieve that goal."" --Andy Haines, Professor of Environmental Change and Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine"
