Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is in cooperation with the 4th International Electronic Conference on Environmental Research and Public Health, organized by the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) from 15–30 Oct 2022 on the MDPI Sciforum platform. We welcome submissions from participants of the conference, as well as those who do not participate.
We are proud to invite you to the 4th electronic conference, with the topic of Climate Change and Health in a broad perspective. This means that we invite papers on a wide variety of health consequences of climate change in all regions of the world. The health effects could be very different if we increase the temperature from 5 to 10 °C compared to an increase from 35 to 40 °C. If we look at the mortality causes associated with climate change, the burden is obviously higher in tropical areas. However, if we add morbidity and complications for, e.g., reproductive health and pregnancy care, the situation might be very different. The spread of infectious diseases related to vector migration is also a very important topic, as is the situation of environmental exposure to contaminants and occupational health. We leave these topics to you with an open mind. Please participate and contribute to a high-quality conference with good science, and good and important messages to stakeholders and policy-makers around the world. We wish you a warm welcome to our electronic conference.
Relevant topics could include:
- Reproductive Health and Climate Change
- Vector Migration from a Climate Perspective
- COVID-19 from a Climate Perspective
- The Forgotten Tropical Diseases from a Climate Perspective
- Cardiovascular Diseases and Climate Change
- Occupational Health and Temperature Change
- We are also open to alternative topics of high scientific quality.
