Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Our Special Issue, entitled “Sustainable Climate Action for Global Health”, is dedicated to exploring the critical intersection of climate action and public health through a lens of sustainability. Our focus lies in elucidating the myriad ways in which addressing climate change can profoundly impact global health outcomes, with an emphasis on long-term viability and equity. From examining the ramifications of climate change on the spread of infectious disease or on food-systems to exploring innovative strategies for building resilient cities as well as healthcare infrastructure, this Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities at hand.

Furthermore, our Special Issue aims to complement the existing literature by offering fresh insights, diverse perspectives, and practical solutions, and by synthesizing the latest research findings and highlighting the importance of sustainability in climate action, we hope to contribute to ongoing scholarly discourse and inspire actionable steps towards a healthier, more sustainable future for all.

We look forward to your contributions and to collectively advancing our understanding and responses to the complex challenges of climate change and global health.
