Health and climate change: policy responses to protect public health

Description

This report by the 45 health experts of the 2015 Lancet Commission on Health and Climate Change is a review of up-to-date information on climate change and health. Analysing 318 original publications on the subject, this compendium describes all relevant aspects, from the physical background over adaptation elements (and barriers), to the complex issue of monetisation of health impacts. The monograph is highly readable because of info boxes and illustrations.

This publication is one of the most comprehensive and current scientific overviews on the matter.
