Today's education demands that every health professional is properly educated about the mechanisms by which climate change places our existence and well-being at risk. Public health professionals must be especially knowledgeable about the health dangers of climate change, who is most vulnerable and how they are vulnerable. Climate Change and Population Health begins by explaining the science of climate change looking back historically, reviewing current measurement techniques and results, and taking into consideration greenhouse gases and their origins. It then looks at the health impact as well as who is most effected by climate change. Finally, it guides students in positively and effectively communicating about climate change as a means to guide people in protecting themselves and garnering support for necessary policies for adaptation and mitigation.
