Title:	Climate change and health in East Asia: A food in health security perspective
Authors:	Wahlqvist, ML
Contributors:	Division of Health Services and Preventive Medicine
Abstract:	This chapter presents a 'Food in Health Security' perspective to climate change in East Asia. This approach embraces food and nutritional security, agriculture, ecology and health, human rights, ethics and equity. The 5 cross-cutting features of East Asia relevant to climate change and health are described: cognate and transitional cultures; climate and natural disasters; anthropogenic ecology; environmental trends; and health and ill-health pattern peculiarities. The concept of ecohealth and the health effects of climate change in the aging population, maternal and child nutrition, and proneness to natural disasters are discussed. Three possible scenarios which perhaps could unfold in East Asia are presented.
