12. Finding Just Solutions

13. It is the world's poor, who bear the biggest disease burdens, and can expect soaring rates of ill health. This increase will come partly from shifting population dynamics, as people flee flooded coasts or searing deserts for more habitable areas, or from a rise in diseases carried by insects, such as mosquitoes or ticks, with 'vectors' influenced by environmental change, or by violence and crisis due to population pressures, or from the pollution of natural resources critical to human and animal health.
