Abstract

Should climate and health researchers accept funding from industries that profit from climate-damaging consumption? In this Personal View, we aim to ignite discussions on this key topic and to introduce a guideline to possibly help climate and health researchers grappling with this complex question. Drawing from existing tools focused on other public health issues and the conclusions of the 2023 Lancet Series on commercial determinants of health, we propose a guideline comprising six parts: meeting public health and climate goals; building credibility and trust; avoiding undue dependence on particular sources of funding; not inflating without good reason the public image of industry; embedding processes to ensure transparency and independence; and protecting the freedom to publish. We invite other climate and public health scientists to report their own experiences and provide feedback on this guideline.

公益还是气候清洗？气候与健康研究人员考虑从碳密集型产业获得资金的指南

气候与健康研究人员是否应该接受从破坏气候的消费中获利的行业提供的资金？在这篇《个人观点》中，我们旨在引发对这一关键议题的讨论，并提出一项指南，以帮助气候与健康研究人员解决这一复杂问题。借鉴关注其他公共卫生问题的现有工具以及《柳叶刀》2023 年系列丛书关于健康商业决定因素的结论，我们提出了一项由六个部分组成的指南：满足公共卫生和气候目标；建立可信度和信任；避免过度依赖特定资金来源；不无端夸大行业的公众形象；嵌入程序以确保透明度和独立性；以及保护出版自由。我们邀请其他气候和公共卫生科学家报告他们自己的经验，并就本指南提供反馈意见。
