Climate change is the biggest health threat facing humanity, and health experts around the world are already responding to the health damages caused by this expanding issue.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has concluded that to avert catastrophic health impacts and prevent millions of climate change-related deaths, the world must limit temperature rise to 1.5°C. Past emissions have already made a certain level of global temperature rise and other changes to the climate irresistance. Global heating is not safe - every additional fraction of a degree of increased temperature will take a serious harm on people’s health.
While no one is safe from these risks, the people whose health is being harmed first and worst by the climate crisis are the people who contribute least to its causes, and who are least able to protect themselves and their families against it - people in low-income and underdeveloped countries and communities.
The climate crisis threatens to undo the last fifty years of progress in development, global health, and poverty reduction, and to further widen existing health inequalities between and within populations. It severely jeopardizes the realization of universal health coverage (UHC) in various ways – including by compounding the existing burden of disease and by exacerbating existing barriers to accessing health services, often at the times when they are most needed. Over 930 million people, around 12% of the world’s population, spend at least 10% of their household budget to pay for health care. With the poorest people largely uninsured, health shocks and stresses already currently push around 100 million people into poverty every year, with the impacts of climate change worsening this trend.

气候变化是人类面临的最大健康威胁,世界各地的健康专家已经在应对这一不断扩大的问题造成的健康损害。
政府间气候变化专门委员会 (IPCC) 得出结论,为了避免灾难性的健康影响并防止数百万与气候变化相关的死亡,世界必须将温度上升限制在 1.5°C。过去的排放量已经使全球气温上升和其他气候变化变得不可抗拒。全球供暖并不安全——温度每升高 1 度,都会对人们的健康造成严重危害。
虽然没有人能幸免于这些风险,但健康受到气候危机最先和最严重损害的人是对其原因贡献最小的人,也是最无力保护自己和家人免受气候危机影响的人——低收入人群- 收入和欠发达国家和社区。
气候危机有可能破坏过去五十年在发展、全球健康和减贫方面取得的进展,并进一步扩大人口之间和人口内部现有的健康不平等。它以各种方式严重危害全民健康覆盖 (UHC) 的实现——包括加重现有的疾病负担和加剧现有的获取医疗服务的障碍,通常是在最需要的时候。超过 9.3 亿人(约占世界人口的 12%)将至少 10% 的家庭预算用于支付医疗保健费用。由于最贫穷的人基本上没有保险,健康冲击和压力目前每年已经使大约 1 亿人陷入贫困,而气候变化的影响加剧了这一趋势。
