      Climate Change, Public Health, and Regional Security in the Indo-Pacific: From Mitigation to Adaptation addresses the absence of solutions to looming and inevitable regional security, health, and environmental threats. To date, there has not been a comprehensive solution-based focus on climate change in the region that includes subjects such as acceptance of the consequences; implications for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief; the role of defense forces in managing migration, climate refugees, infectious diseases, and related issues such as flooding or land use change; and a further focus on climate change and implications for public health in the Indo-Pacific. This book addresses these issues and provides strategies for those living and working in the region. Written by regional experts for public health, security, and climate change practitioners, researchers and experts, as well as regional and international policymakers and opinion leaders in the area.
