ABSTRACT

This book will offer strategies for creating healthier, more vibrant communities, and learning how to thrive in a sustainable changing future. The goal is to offer a text to enrich instructors and students in undergraduate and some graduate courses on environment science, environmental policy, or environmental health. According to the World Health Organization, environmental health is “concerned with all aspects of the natural and built environment that affect human health and diseases” (Maxwell, 2014). This text would give life to the ways human interact with the natural world (environment). It will provide a refreshing vision of climate change and how to minimize the risks and benefit from the opportunities a changing environment can create with the use of environmental policies.
