Abstract

Climate change shapes human migration through the interaction of environmental changes with political, social, economic, and demographic drivers of mobility. Low-and middle-income countries bear the brunt of the health impacts of climate change and migration, despite their overall low contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. The CIH^LMU Symposium 2021 aimed to explore the complex interconnections between climate change, migration and health from diverse global perspectives. A number of themes, such as the relationship between climate and trade, the role of technology, and the issue of responsibility were tackled. The speakers also highlighted the need for climate resilient health-systems, gender mainstreaming in climate strategies, collaboration between the Global North and South and urgently defining the 'climate refugee'. It is crucial that the narrative around climate change moves from an environmental framing to encompass human health and migration within climate discussions and strategies.

CIH-LMU 2021研讨会论文集:“全球健康视角:气候变化与移民”。

气候变化通过环境变化与政治、社会、经济和人口流动驱动因素的相互作用来塑造人类迁移。低收入和中等收入国家在气候变化和移徙对健康的影响中首当其冲，尽管它们对温室气体排放的总体贡献较低。2021年CIHLMU研讨会旨在从不同的全球视角探讨气候变化、移民和健康之间的复杂相互联系。会议讨论了气候与贸易之间的关系、技术的作用和责任问题等若干主题。发言者还强调需要建立适应气候变化的卫生系统、气候战略中的性别主流化、全球北方和南方之间的合作以及紧急定义“气候难民”。至关重要的是，围绕气候变化的叙述必须从环境框架转变为将人类健康和移徙纳入气候讨论和战略。
