Global climate change, war, and population decline in recent human history
Although scientists have warned of possible social perils resulting from climate change, the impacts of long-term climate change on social unrest and population collapse have not been quantitatively investigated. In this study, high-resolution paleo-climatic data have been used to explore at a macroscale the effects of climate change ...

Role of law at the non-communicable diseases-climate change interface: considerations for planetary and population health policy
The contemporary way of living has not only damaged planetary health due to land use changes and increased production of greenhouse gases (GHGs), but the imbalanced consumption has also led to rapid increases in non-communicable diseases (NCDs).Climate change has been described as the biggest global health threat of the 21st Century. ...

Climate change and developing-country cities: implications for environmental health and equity
Climate change is an emerging threat to global public health. It is also highly inequitable, as the greatest risks are to the poorest populations, who have contributed least to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The rapid economic development and the concurrent urbanization of poorer countries mean that developing-country cities will be ...

Effects of environmental change on zoonotic disease risk: an ecological primer
Impacts of environmental changes on zoonotic disease risk are the subject of speculation, but lack a coherent framework for understanding environmental drivers of pathogen transmission from animal hosts to humans. We review how environmental factors affect the distributions of zoonotic agents and their transmission to humans, ...
