Abstract

Over the last decade, attribution science has shown that climate change is responsible for substantial death, disability and illness. However, health impact attribution studies have focused disproportionately on populations in high-income countries, and have mostly quantified the health outcomes of heat and extreme weather. A clearer picture of the global burden of climate change could encourage policymakers to treat the climate crisis like a public health emergency. The authors assess the growing field of climate change health impact attribution. They show literature bias towards direct heat effects and extreme weather in high-income countries, highlighting the lack of global representation in current efforts.

人为气候变化造成的健康损失

在过去的十年里，归因科学表明，气候变化是造成大量死亡、残疾和疾病的原因。然而，健康影响归因研究不成比例地侧重于高收入国家的人口，并且大多量化了高温和极端天气对健康的影响。更清晰地了解气候变化的全球负担，可能会鼓励政策制定者将气候危机视为突发公共卫生事件。作者评估了气候变化对健康影响归因这一日益增长的领域。他们表明，文献偏向于高收入国家的直接热效应和极端天气，突出了目前的努力缺乏全球代表性。
