Trajectories of adaptation to climate change, by immigration status and country of origin
Trajectories of adaptation to climate change, by immigration status and country of origin
In the proposed study we will analyze the temporal trends of climate-related morbidities among immigrants, by their time since immigration. While exploring the adaptation curves, we will take advantage of the abundant population of immigrants in Israel, majority of whole have arrived from cold-climate countries. Read more
