This book shows some of the socio-economic impacts of climate change according to different estimates of the current or estimated global warming. A series of scientific and experimental research projects explore the impacts of climate change and browse the techniques to evaluate the related impacts. These 23 chapters provide a good overview of the different changes impacts that already have been detected in several regions of the world. They are part of an introduction to the researches being done around the globe in connection with this topic. However, climate change is not just an academic issue important only to scientists and environmentalists; it also has direct implications on various ecosystems and technologies.
Contents:
Is free trade good or bad for the environment? New empirical evidence.
Changing climate related behaviors: a review of social-scientific interventions.
Understanding and modelling the impact of climate change on infectious diseases – progress and future challenges.
Climate change and population health: possible future scenarios.
Climate variability and population health in china: updated knowledge, challenges and opportunities.
Climate change and sustainable development of water: Sub-Saharan Africa.
The climate change, water crisis and forest ecosystem services in Beijing, China.
Evaluations and perceptions of the climate change in the state of Veracruz (Mexico): an overview.
