摘要

人类造成的温室气体排放导致了前所未有的快速气候变化,这对当今社会提出了严峻的挑战。然而,在文献和政策讨论中,气候变化与健康之间的联系仍未得到充分探讨。在美国,每年都有成千上万的人死于与气候相关的因素,包括极端气温、恶劣天气、空气污染和病媒传染的疾病,这些健康影响对本已脆弱的人群造成了极大的冲击。气候变化不仅是一个环境问题,也是对个人和人口健康的一个迫在眉睫的威胁,同时也是对健康公平的一个重大挑战。此外,卫生部门也是温室气体排放的重要来源。临床医生和卫生专业人员认识到自己作为医疗服务提供者和气候危机推动者的角色,有道德义务强调气候对人类健康和公平的深远影响。本讲座概述了美国国家医学科学院和其他机构为解决气候变化与健康之间的交叉问题所做的努力,旨在提高人们对患者健康所面临的直接威胁的认识,并为卫生部门开辟一条积极主动的前进道路。面对气候引发的健康危机,卫生部门必须团结起来,共同应对这些挑战,保障患者福祉,促进共同利益。

THE GORDON WILSON LECTURE: CLIMATE, HEALTH, AND EQUITY: THE CASE FOR COLLECTIVE ACTION FROM THE HEALTH SYSTEM.

The rapid and unprecedented climate changes driven by human-induced greenhouse gas emissions present a critical challenge for society today. However, the link between climate change and health remains inadequately explored in both literature and policy discussions. Thousands of individuals die each year in the United States due to climate-related factors, including extreme temperatures, severe weather, air pollution, and vector-borne diseases, and these health impacts disproportionately affect already vulnerable populations. Climate change is not just an environmental concern but also an imminent threat to individual and population health, as well as a major challenge to health equity. Moreover, the health sector significantly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Recognizing their roles as health care providers and contributors to the climate crisis, clinicians and health professionals have a moral obligation to emphasize the profound significance of climate impacts on human health and equity. This lecture provides an overview of efforts by the U.S. National Academy of Medicine and others to address the intersection of climate change and health, with an aim to raise awareness about the immediate threats to patient health and to build a proactive path forward for the health sector. The health sector must unite to collectively tackle these challenges, safeguard patient well-being, and promote the common good in the face of climate-induced health crises.
