SCORCHED FUTURES: CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE RISING TOLL ON CHILD HEALTH

Urgent exploration of how the climate crisis is reshaping childhood—physically, mentally, and socially. Scorched Futures traces the pathways by which warming temperatures, extreme weather, air pollution, food and water insecurity, and shifting disease patterns harm infants and children worldwide. Combining clear science with vivid stories from affected families, this book reveals the unequal burden borne by low-income and marginalized communities and outlines practical public-health, policy, and community-based solutions to protect the next generation. Essential reading for parents, clinicians, policymakers, and anyone concerned about the health of children in a warming world.
