The list of signatories represents more than two thirds of the global health workforce, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).</p> <p>The WHO’s <a href="https://www.who.int/publications-detail-redirect/cop26-special-report">COP26 Special Report on Climate Change and Health, The Health Argument for Climate Action</a>, launched at the same time as the letter, outlined 10 recommendations for <a href="//www.caisenvip.com/global/governance/">governments</a> to “maximise the health benefits of tackling climate change”, and “avoid the worst health impacts of the climate crisis”.</p> <blockquote class="quote list-left"> <h3>“We are profoundly concerned about the impacts [of climate change] we’re seeing on people’s health now, and that we know are going to get far worse if climate change is not fully addressed.”</h3> <h4>Jeni Miller, chair of the environment section of the American Public Health Association</h4> </blockquote> <p>Jeni Miller, chair of the environment section of the American Public Health Association, a signatory of the letter, told <em>SciDev.Net</em>: “The health community from around the world came together around this letter because we are profoundly concerned about the impacts [of climate change] we’re seeing on people’s health now, and that we know are going to get far worse if climate change is not fully addressed.”</p> <p>Outlining some of these impacts, the letter states that air <a href="//www.caisenvip.com/global/environment/pollution/">pollution</a>, especially from burning fossil fuels, is causing more than seven million premature deaths each year — the equivalent of 13 deaths every minute. It also highlights increases in food-borne, water-borne and vector-borne diseases, as well as the destruction caused by rising sea levels, and increasingly frequent floods, storms and heatwaves.</p> <p><a href="//www.caisenvip.com/global/content/plus.html?utm_source=int_website&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=scidevplus_launch&utm_term=aug21&utm_content=scidevplus_12"><img alt="" width="600" height="100" data-src="https://505488.smushcdn.com/2242995/wp-content/uploads/SciDevPlus_LaunchDaily_Newsletter_Ad.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1582533 lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1582533" src="https://505488.smushcdn.com/2242995/wp-content/uploads/SciDevPlus_LaunchDaily_Newsletter_Ad.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1" alt="" width="600" height="100" /></noscript></a></p> <p>“Wherever we deliver care, in our hospitals, clinics and communities around the world, we are already responding to the health harms caused by climate change,” the letter says.</p> <p>According to Miller, no country is immune from climate change, but developing countries are feeling the greater impacts and have the fewest resources to respond.</p> <p>Ayyoob Sharifi, an associate professor at Japan’s Hiroshima University who specialises in urban climate change adaptation and mitigation, said: “Developing countries are expected to be disproportionately impacted [by climate change] due to their limited adaptive capacity as well as the rapid rates of urbanisation.”</p> <p>Agnimita Giri Sarkar, a paediatrician at the Institute of Child Health, in Kolkata, India, and a member of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics, another signatory of the letter, told <em>SciDev.Net</em> that, in India and other developing countries, “heatwaves and air pollution coupled with increased urbanisation are directly affecting the health of children and adults”.</p> <p>“To tackle climate change, a multidisciplinary team approach comprising of environmentologists, scientists, virologists, microbiologists, epidemiologists, and clinicians is necessary,” she added.</p> <p><a href="https://bit.ly/39WWDEG"><img alt="Donations appeal" width="996" height="100" data-srcset="https://505488.smushcdn.com/2242995/wp-content/uploads/Donations_adsIn-article.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1 996w, https://505488.smushcdn.com/2242995/wp-content/uploads/Donations_adsIn-article-768x77.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1 768w" data-src="https://505488.smushcdn.com/2242995/wp-content/uploads/Donations_adsIn-article.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1" data-sizes="(max-width: 996px) 100vw, 996px" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1908974 lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1908974" src="https://505488.smushcdn.com/2242995/wp-content/uploads/Donations_adsIn-article.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1" alt="Donations appeal" width="996" height="100" srcset="https://505488.smushcdn.com/2242995/wp-content/uploads/Donations_adsIn-article.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1 996w, https://505488.smushcdn.com/2242995/wp-content/uploads/Donations_adsIn-article-768x77.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1 768w" sizes="(max-width: 996px) 100vw, 996px" /></noscript></a></p> <p>The WHO’s 10 recommendations include: committing to a healthy recovery from COVID-19; making health and social justice central to UN climate talks; prioritising climate interventions that benefit health, society and the economy, and establishing climate resilient and <a href="//www.caisenvip.com/global/environment/">environmentally</a> <a href="//www.caisenvip.com/global/governance/sustainability/">sustainable</a> health systems.</p> <p>As part of the Paris <a href="https://unfccc.int/process-and-meetings/the-paris-agreement/the-paris-agreement">Agreement</a> adopted by governments in 2015 to tackle climate change, governments pledged to take action to limit global rise to 1.5 degree Celsius.

从新冠肺炎大流行并避免“即将来临的健康灾难”，各国必须采取针对性的行动气候变化，，，，健康experts have urged ahead of the UN climate summit, COP26.

一个打开信封由450多个组织签署，代表4500万卫生工作者在下个月在格拉斯哥的COP26召集国家领导人和国家代表团，将“人类健康和公平”放在缓解气候变化和适应措施的中心。根据世界卫生组织（WHO）的数据，签署人名单代表了全球卫生劳动力的三分之二以上。

谁是COP26关于气候变化和健康的特别报告，《气候行动的健康论点》，与信件同时推出，概述了10个建议政府为了“最大化应对气候变化的健康益处”，并“避免气候危机对健康的影响最严重”。

“We are profoundly concerned about the impacts [of climate change] we’re seeing on people’s health now, and that we know are going to get far worse if climate change is not fully addressed.”

这封信的签署人美国公共卫生协会环境部门主席珍妮·米勒beplay足球体育的微博（Jeni Miller）告诉scidev.net: “The health community from around the world came together around this letter because we are profoundly concerned about the impacts [of climate change] we’re seeing on people’s health now, and that we know are going to get far worse if climate change is not fully addressed.”

概述了其中一些影响，该信指出播出pollution，特别是燃烧化石燃料，每年造成超过700万人的过早死亡，相当于每分钟13人死亡。它还突出了食物传播，水传播和媒介疾病的增加，以及海平面上升以及越来越频繁的洪水，风暴和热浪造成的破坏。

信中说：“无论我们在世界各地的医院，诊所和社区中提供护理，我们都已经在应对气候变化造成的健康危害。”

根据米勒的说法，没有一个国家免受气候变化的影响，但是发展中国家感觉到更大的影响，并且有最少的回应资源。

Ayyoob Sharifi, an associate professor at Japan’s Hiroshima University who specialises in urban climate change adaptation and mitigation, said: “Developing countries are expected to be disproportionately impacted [by climate change] due to their limited adaptive capacity as well as the rapid rates of urbanisation.”

印度加尔各答儿童健康研究所的儿科医生Agnimita Giri Sarkar，印度儿科学院的成员，这封信的另一位签署人告诉scidev.net在印度和其他发展中国家，“热浪和空气污染以及城市化增加直接影响儿童和成人的健康”。

她补充说：“为了应对气候变化，有必要由环境学家，科学家，病毒学家，微生物学家，流行病学家和临床医生组成的多学科团队方法。”beplay足球体育的微博

WHO的10个建议包括：致力于从Covid-19进行健康康复；使健康和社会正义成为联合国气候谈判的中心；优先考虑使健康，社会和经济受益的气候干预措施，并建立气候弹性和beplay足球体育的微博环境可持续的卫生系统。

作为巴黎的一部分协议政府在2015年通过政府采用了应对气候变化，政府承诺采取行动将全球崛起限制在1.5度摄氏度。但是，米勒警告说，国家政府尚未采取迫切需要实现这一目标并保护全球健康的行动水平。

“我们呼吁每个国家的领导人及其代表在COP26的领导人通过将全球变暖限制为1.5°C来避免迫在眉睫的健康灾难，并使所有缓解气候变化和适应措施的人类健康和公平行动使人类健康和公平行动核心”。

沙里菲说，该报告和信件是在“非常重要的时期，因为气候变化对公共卫生的负面影响越来越明显”。

他补充说：“鉴于发展中国家许多城市的资源限制，我建议优先考虑在气候政策和措施上的投资，以提供健康和公平的共同利益。”
