New open access book:
The Climate, Migration and Health Nexus: Opportunities for Interregional Cooperation (Springer, April 2026) [open access]
- "This open access book offers innovative contributions to the climate-migration-health nexus and the role of regional governance in this nexus, emphasizing the importance of interregional cooperation in addressing these challenges. It considers climate change as an intensifier of leading to rising of migration and displacement, in interaction with economic, political, and social factors. These in turn have profound implications for society, particularly in relation to human health and health systems. The spread of infectious diseases, the rise in chronic health conditions, mental health issues, and fragmented access to healthcare are already emerging as critical concerns. This volume fills the gap in the understanding of the intricate climate-migration-health nexus and provides new empirical evidence and data to inform effective interventions and policies."
