Beschreibung
This volume offers the first comprehensive, evidence-based analysis of how climate change, migration, and health intersect in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). As the region faces escalating climate hazards—extreme heat, hurricanes, droughts, and floods—climate-induced mobility is reshaping health vulnerabilities among displaced populations. Migrants often encounter barriers to healthcare, heightened exposure to infectious and non-communicable diseases, and psychosocial risks such as gender-based violence and social exclusion.
Bridging climate justice, public health, and migration studies, the book combines conceptual insights with real-life case studies from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and other countries. Each chapter provides situational analysis, deep dives into climate–migration–health dynamics, and practical solutions tailored to local contexts. Cross-cutting themes include gender, indigeneity, occupational health, and digital inequalities, framed through rights-based and planetary health perspectives.
Designed for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers, this interdisciplinary resource advances understanding of climate-related displacement and health equity in one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable regions. By integrating empirical evidence with actionable strategies, it equips readers to design inclusive, context-sensitive responses that promote resilience and protect vulnerable populations.
