"Climate Change, Public Health, and the Law provides the first comprehensive explication
of the dynamic interactions between climate change, public health law, and environmental
law, both in the United States and internationally. Responding to climate change and
achieving public health protections each require the coordination of the decisions
and behavior of large numbers of people. However, they also involve interventions
that risk compromising individual rights. The challenges involved in coordinating
large-scale responses to public health threats and protecting against the invasion
of rights, makes the law indispensable to both of these agendas. Written for the benefit
of public health and environmental law professionals and policymakers in the United
States and in the international public health sector, this volume focuses on the legal
components of pursuing public health goals in the midst of a changing climate. It
will help facilitate efforts to develop, improve, and carry out policy responses at
the international, federal, state, and local levels" ; "Climate change is already
altering ecosystems, and with them the pathways through which infectious diseases
find their way to human hosts. As these changes become still more pronounced, so too
will their consequences for public health. Lindsay Wiley describes these changes and
consequences, but observes also that the resulting need for integrated responses across
policy areas is made especially difficult by key features of the public health field.
These include its increasing orientation to health care, as well as the fragmentation
of responsibility for basic prerequisites to public health among agencies specializing
in environmental protection, sanitation, agriculture, food and drug safety, and workplace
health and safety. Having pointed out these barriers to an effective response to novel
infectious diseases outbreaks like Zika virus, Wiley describes efforts to overcome
them, such as the One Health and Health in All Policies approaches. Both of these
support transcending narrow policy areas in service to public health goals"
