加强气候变化健康影响的机制研究,提高气候变化风险应对与适应能力

Strengthen mechanistic research on health impact of climate change and improve ability to address and adapt to climate change

  • 摘要: 气候变化对人群健康的威胁已成为全球广泛关注的公共卫生问题。然而,目前关于气候变化对健康影响的机制研究多局限于生物学机制,且很多尚未定论。为此,本期推出了“气候变化与人群健康的机制研究”专栏,从不同的角度分析了不同气象因素(气温、降雨)导致不同健康结局(早产、死亡、腹泻、传染病等)的生物学机制、脆弱性机制、社会驱动过程和传播动力学机制,以期深化对气象因素或者气候变化对人群健康影响的认识,提高我国应对气候变化健康风险的能力,为制定有针对性的适应措施提供科学依据。

     

    Abstract: The threats to human health caused by climate change have become a global public health issue. However, at present, most studies regarding the health-related mechanisms of climate change are limited to biological mechanisms, and most of these mechanisms are not totally clear. In this special column: Mechanisms underlying human health effects of climate change, we offered several papers which investigated the effects of different meteorological factors (temperature and rainfall) on various health outcomes (preterm birth, death, diarrhea, infectious diseases, etc.), and also elaborated associated potential biological mechanisms, vulnerability mechanisms, social driving process and transmission dynamics mechanisms. These studies can deepen our understanding of the health effects of climate change, provide references to make targeted adaptative measures, and also provide scientific and technological supports for improving ability to address the health risks of climate change in China.
