Climate Change and Health: Transcending Silos to Find Solutions

摘要: Abstract Background Climate change has myriad implications for the health of humans, our ecosystems, and ecological processes that sustain them. Projections rising greenhouse gas emissions suggest increasing direct indirect burden infectious noninfectious disease, effects on food water security, other societal disruptions. As climate cannot be isolated from social determinants disease will mitigate or exacerbate forecasted outcomes, multidisciplinary collaboration is critically needed. Objectives The aim this article was to review links between its upstream drivers (ie, leading emissions) identify existing opportunities leverage more integrated global actions prevent, prepare for, respond anthropogenic pressures. Methods We conducted a literature current projected outcomes associated with change, drawing findings collective expertise adaptation mitigation across disciplines. Findings Health related affect wide range stakeholders, providing ready collaborative interventions, which can differentiated by addressing downstream itself. Conclusions Although professionals are challenged risks drivers, adverse resolved public community alone. A phase in needed move passive responder partnership sectors drive innovative alternatives. It essential step outside traditional boundaries engage stakeholders develop policy practical solutions drivers; also yield compound benefits help address health, environmental, challenges.
