Keywords:
There is increasing understanding, globally, that climate change will have profound and mostly harmful effects on human health. This authoritative book brings together international experts to describe both direct (such as heat waves) and indirect (such as vector-borne disease incidence) impacts of climate change, set in a broad, international, economic, political and environmental context. This unique book also expands on these issues to address a third category of potential longer-term impacts on global health: famine, population dislocation, and conflict. This lively yet scholarly resource explores these issues fully, linking them to health in urban and rural settings in developed and developing countries. The book finishes with a practical discussion of action that health professionals can yet take.

Colin's interest in and experience of health in the global South date to the early 1980s; his interest in climate change and health to 1989, the year he co-founded the NGOs BODHI US and BODHI Australia, each of which is particularly active in South Asia. Colin contributed to the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (2002-05) as a co-ordinating lead author for the conceptual framework and scenarios working groups, and to the health chapter of the 5th Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report. In 2014 Colin became the first Australian IPCC author to be arrested protesting climate change policy inertia. His academic qualifications include in medicine and epidemiology. Colin has published almost 300 articles, chapters and miscellanea in scholarly outlets, not only on climate change, but also on population growth, development, poverty and conflict.
