Abstract

The emissions, vulnerability, and readiness nexus illustrate several interrelated disparities between the Global North and South. We examine these disparities by mapping country-level CO₂ emissions against climate-related mortality. Global North countries and China are the main contributors to CO₂ emissions, whereas African countries and India are the most affected. This relationship is further reflected in a strong negative association between readiness for and vulnerability to climate change. The dichotomy between the Global North's contribution and the Global South's vulnerability to climate change risks underscores the urgent need for equitable climate policies that address these imbalances and bolster global readiness.

不同的气候变化健康成本：排放、脆弱性和准备关系。

排放、脆弱性和准备程度之间的联系说明了全球北方和南方之间一些相互关联的差异。我们通过绘制国家层面的二氧化碳排放量与气候相关死亡率的关系图来检验这些差异。全球北方国家和中国是二氧化碳排放的主要贡献者，而非洲国家和印度受影响最大。这种关系进一步反映在应对气候变化的准备程度与对气候变化的脆弱性之间的强烈负相关。全球北方对气候变化的贡献与全球南方对气候变化风险的脆弱性之间的矛盾凸显了迫切需要制定公平的气候政策，以解决这些不平衡并加强全球准备。

期刊介绍： EcoHealth aims to advance research, practice, and knowledge integration at the interface of ecology and health by publishing high quality research and review articles that address and profile new ideas, developments, and programs. The journal’s scope encompasses research that integrates concepts and theory from many fields of scholarship (including ecological, social and health sciences, and the humanities) and draws upon multiple types of knowledge, including those of relevance to practice and policy. Papers address integrated ecology and health challenges arising in public health, human and veterinary medicine, conservation and ecosystem management, rural and urban development and planning, and other fields that address the social-ecological context of health. The journal is a central platform for fulfilling the mission of the EcoHealth Alliance to strive for sustainable health of people, domestic animals, wildlife, and ecosystems by promoting discovery, understanding, and transdisciplinarity. The journal invites substantial contributions in the following areas: One Health and Conservation Medicine o Integrated research on health of humans, wildlife, livestock and ecosystems o Research and policy in ecology, public health, and agricultural sustainability o Emerging infectious diseases affecting people, wildlife, domestic animals, and plants o Research and practice linking human and animal health and/or social-ecological systems o Anthropogenic environmental change and drivers of disease emergence in humans, wildlife, livestock and ecosystems o Health of humans and animals in relation to terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems Ecosystem Approaches to Health o Systems thinking and social-ecological systems in relation to health o Transdiiplinary approaches to health, ecosystems and society.
