The obesity epidemic in the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region began in the 1980s and accelerated from the 2000s. In the LAC region, obesity has become a public health issue in the region. The increase of this problem is related to the economic gains obtained from the process of liberalization and privatization, the increase of foreign investment, and infrastructure investment.

Obesity Epidemic and the Environment: Latin America and the Caribbean Region is a broad analysis of the macroeconomic impact of the obesity epidemic on environmental degradation in the LAC region. Case studies combine theory and practice to achieve critical conclusions (and subsequent policy implications) on these two major themes, providing useful tools for those working on actual health, energy, and environmental challenges.

Written for researchers, policymakers, international organizations, and practitioners in various fields, especially those in public health, health economics, energy and environmental economics, and social sciences.
