O livro pretende contribuir com estratégias para aumentar a resiliência do setor Saúde e das comunidades em face das mudanças climáticas e seus impactos. A obra mostra que mudanças ambientais e climáticas interagem entre si, abordando como a complexa relação entre saúde e ambiente vem sendo cada vez mais discutida. Apesar de avanços na saúde e considerando um aumento na expectativa de vida no Brasil, diversos estudos apontam que, nas últimas décadas, desequilíbrios ambientais têm causado efeitos negativos à sociedade, afetando direta e indiretamente a saúde humana. No país, os desastres de origem climática que mais se destacam têm origem em processos hidrológicos - chuvas intensas, inundações bruscas, deslizamentos de terra relacionados às chuvas e inundações graduais - e climatológicos (secas, estiagens e crises hídricas). Composto por 12 capítulos, o título reúne cerca de 30 especialistas das mais diversas áreas, confirmando a inquestionável capacidade técnico-científica de pesquisadores brasileiros que se dedicam à temática da mudança climática nos seus diferentes aspectos.

The objective of the present edited book is to encompass studies from both developed and developing countries of Asia, Africa Europe, and Americas, to understand and present a comparative scenario of the climate change and other environmental determinants of health and disease in geographically diversified countries. Environment and health perspective dates back to Hippocrates treatise written 400 B.C.E. In his book On Airs, Waters and Places, Hippocrates described diseases as associated with environmental conditions, “Whoever wishes to investigate medicine properly, should proceed thus: in the first place to consider the seasons of the year, and what effects each of them produces for they are not at all alike, but differ much from themselves in regard to their changes. Then the winds, the hot and the cold, especially such as are common to all countries, and then such as are peculiar to each locality. We must also consider the qualities of the waters, for as they differ from one another in taste and weight, so also do they differ much in their qualities. In the same manner, when one comes into a city to which he is a stranger, he ought to consider its situation, how it lies as to the winds and the rising of the sun; for its influence is not the same whether it lies to the north or the south, to the rising or to the setting sun”. There has been a greater emphasis in the last four decades on understanding environmental factors which affect human health, after United Nations established Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988 aimed at to evaluate research on changing environmental condition, particularly climate change and its impacts on human wellbeing, including human health, as consequences of extreme heat waves conditions, sea level rise, forced migration, air pollution, droughts, and wildfires. From these studies, risk levels of vulnerable populations and regions can be assessed and level of resilience of healthcare infrastructure that may be used in environmental health policy and equity of these countries.

This book provides insight on how disaster risk management can increase the resilience of society to various natural hazards. The multi-dimensionality of resilience and the various different perspectives in regards to disaster risk reduction are taken explicitly into account by providing studies and approaches on different scales and ranging from natural science based methods to social science frameworks. For all chapters, special emphasis is placed on implementation aspects and specifically in regards to the targets and priorities for action laid out in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. The chapters provide also a starting point for interested readers on specific issues of resilience and therefore include extensive reference material and important future directions for research.

The Università del Caffè Brazil was born in March of 2000 as a result of a partnership between PENSA (Agribusiness Knowledge Center - FEA/USP and FIA) and illycaffè. The mission, since the beginning, has being the generation and dissemination of knowledge to the coffee system. To celebrate 18 years of activities we publish this collection of research conducted between 2013 and 2017. During these years of activity the UdC Brazil team, in close harmony with Illycaffè, has conducted courses to coffee growers and technicians covering technical and managerial aspects. There were more than 9 thousand participations in seminars, short courses and five editions of Specialization Course in the Coffee Agribusiness. In tune with the needs of coffee growers and illycaffè, since 2014 the UdC Brazil courses are held at a distance through the portal universidadedocafe.com. Aligned with its mission, the University of Caffè Brazil generates knowledge through the production of research. This book intends to support the dissemination of the knowledge to the community of the coffee agribusiness, adding value to all its participants.

This book is the first resource to review the influence of climate change on urban and public pests such as mosquitoes, flies, ticks, and wood pests, with respect to population, distribution, disease, damage and control. It systematically addresses how the impact of climate change on pests in urban areas differs from natural areas, focusing on the increased temperatures of urban locations, the effect of natural disasters, the manner of land use and the consequences of human habitation. Presenting up-to-date knowledge, this book is an essential resource for researchers in urban pests, entomology and public health, as well as scientists, environmentalists and policy makers involved in studies on climate change.

This book provides important insight on a range of issues focused on three themes; what new climate change information is being developed, how that knowledge is communicated and how it can be usefully applied across international, regional and local scales. There is increasing international investment and interest to develop and communicate updated climate change information to promote effective action. As change accelerates and planetary boundaries are crossed this information becomes particularly relevant to guide decisions and support both proactive adaptation and mitigation strategies. Developing new information addresses innovations in producing interdisciplinary climate change knowledge and overcoming issues of data quality, access and availability. This book examines effective information systems to guide decision-making for immediate and future action. Cases studies in developed and developing countries illustrate how climate change information promotes immediate and future actions across a range of sectors.

Normal Accidents analyzes the social side of technological risk. Charles Perrow argues that the conventional engineering approach to ensuring safety--building in more warnings and safeguards--fails because systems complexity makes failures inevitable. He asserts that typical precautions, by adding to complexity, may help create new categories of accidents. (At Chernobyl, tests of a new safety system helped produce the meltdown and subsequent fire.) By recognizing two dimensions of risk--complex versus linear interactions, and tight versus loose coupling--this book provides a powerful framework for analyzing risks and the organizations that insist we run them. The first edition fulfilled one reviewer's prediction that it "may mark the beginning of accident research." In the new afterword to this edition Perrow reviews the extensive work on the major accidents of the last fifteen years, including Bhopal, Chernobyl, and the Challenger disaster. The new postscript probes what the author considers to be the "quintessential 'Normal Accident'" of our time: the Y2K computer problem.
