“<i>Climate Justice and Public Health</i> makes a significant contribution to current scholarship and is particularly useful because it addresses not only the physical health impacts that are often written about but also the mental and emotional impacts.” - Jade S. Sasser, author of <i>On Infertile Ground: Population Control and Women’s Rights in the Era of Climate Change</i><p> “When I read something and it makes me say, ‘I never thought of it that way,’ I know what I read had an impact. <i>Climate Justice and Public Health</i> adds to climate change literature by advancing arguments about why we all need to pay attention to populations that are already targets of structural activities that create and exacerbate health disparities.” - Michele Morrone, author of <i>Ailing in Place: Environmental Inequities and Health Disparities in Appalachia</i></p>
Expanding the climate and health equity discussions to populations all over the globe, the contributors in this volume address an impressive and broad range of topics that include Indigenous health and cultural practices, mental and emotional health, senior health, and impacts on African American communities. Collectively, they present radical new ways of confronting these issues and propose holistic solutions.
