随着全球变暖不断加剧,气候变化对人群健康的影响受到越来越广泛的关注。气候变化对健康最直接的影响是温度升高导致的死亡率上升和心脑血管疾病、呼吸系统疾病等慢性疾病的发病率升高。而气候变化导致的极端天气事件增加、空气污染水平加重等问题,也对人群健康产生了间接的影响。在综述上述研究发现的基础上,本文从减缓与适应两个方面讨论了全球层面应对气候变化的策略和措施可能带来的健康协同效应,并进一步对中国近年来在优化能源结构、促进交通业低碳转型、增加碳汇等方面取得的突出成果以及它们对人群健康所产生的积极影响做了总结。世界各国政府、组织及个人都应为改善人群健康而更加积极地开展应对气候变化的行动。
With the increasing globalwarming,the impact of climate change on people’s health has gotten more and more attention. The most direct impact of climate change on health is the mortality rate rising as well as the morbidity rising of cardiovascular diseases,respiratory diseases and so on,along with the rise of temperature. Extreme weather events and air pollution problems caused by climate change also have significant impacts on human health. On this basis,this paper discusses the global strategies and measures to cope with climate change from the perspective of mitigation and adaptation,and discusses the possible co-benefit on health. Further,this paper summarized the outstanding achievements of China in optimizing energy structure,improving urban traffic and increasing carbon sink,and the positive effects on people’s health. Governments,organizations and individuals all over the world should be more active in tackling climate change to improve people’s health.
