| description | As the health effects of climate change are increasingly apparent, the shortfalls of narrow biomedical understandings of health are becoming even more apparent. In this chapter, we examine the health effects of climate change by looking at extreme weather events, with a particular focus on flooding across various global regions. We propose to understand health as a multidimensionally constituted state that is shaped by ‘natural’, biological, ecological, and social-political-economic factors that interact with each other across time and space. Research in this field, we argue, needs to bring together different, mixed-methods approaches including inductive and qualitative research. We discuss how insights from such transdisciplinary research can inform effective policy interventions and contribute to reassessing strategies for protecting health amid a changing climate. |
