Insights for PolicymakersReviewsThis is a thorough investigation of the serious challenges the world faces from health impacts of climate change. Jungmann examines progress made on climate adaptation in different countries, with the benefit of consultation with experts within different levels of government and academia. Individual health risks will vary by country, but global action to adapt to climate change can be greatly facilitated by understanding and building on the variety of knowledge and experience outlined in this type of research. -- Clare Heaviside, Associate Professor, UCL, United Kingdom This is a ground-breaking text which examines, for the first time, the interaction between climate change and health adaptation for 192 countries. It examines in detail the drivers that influence the climate change-health adaptation nexus and provides insight into how best society can position itself to cope with the climate emergency. -- John Sweeney, Emeritus Professor, Irish Climate Analysis and Research UnitS (ICARUS), Maynooth University, Ireland Climate change already has severe effects on the health of millions of people and its impact will drastically increase in the future. In this timely book, Maximilian Jungmann provides the first global overview of how states perceive health risks associated with climate change and what influences their actions to respond to such risks. His book helps policymakers, businesses, and citizens alike to better understand and prepare for complex, interconnected problems like the climate change and health nexus. -- Bernd Welz, CEO, Klimastiftung fur Burger, Germany There is no comparable monograph investigating how states compare in their health adaptation initiatives and which factors influence their perception and respective policies tackling health risks related to climate change. Max Jungmann's work offers an indispensable and comprehensive analysis, using both advanced quantitative and qualitative methods to make sense of the politics of the 'Climate Change-Health Nexus' for scientists, policy makers and the interested public. -- Sebastian Harnisch, Professor for International Relations and Foreign Policy, Heidelberg University, Germany This book contributes immensely to the understanding of differential integration of climate change into national public health agendas from a global perspective. Maximilian Jungmann has established the Climate Change and Health Adaptation Index (CHAIn), which may become the tool to evaluate the level of climate resilience of national health systems - a major step towards climate change adaptation for better human health. -- Ina Danquah, Robert Bosch Junior Professor for Sustainable Nutrition in sub-Saharan Africa, Heidelberg University, Germany This is a thorough investigation of the serious challenges the world faces from health impacts of climate change.
