Year on year, we can now see the work that must be done Last week, the Lancet published its 2017 Countdown report on understanding, preventing, preparing for, and acting on the threat to human health from climate change.1 It follows a 2015 Commission on Health and Climate Change, which concluded that climate change was a “potentially catastrophic risk to human health,” but also “the greatest global health opportunity of the 21st century.”2 This inaugural annual report details 40 baseline indicators to measure progress, threats to progress, the consequences of inaction, and essential steps for the healthcare sector to mitigate negative health effects of climate change. The Countdown draws on data and expertise from every continent, updating key indicators in five categories roughly divided into research, adaptation and resilience, mitigation, economics and finance, and engagement by politicians and the public. This breadth includes input from climate scientists, engineers, economists, and doctors, to name a few, capturing the vast scope of the …

倒计时追踪气候变化对健康的影响的进展

年复一年，我们现在可以看到必须完成的工作。上周，《柳叶刀》发表了关于了解，预防，应对气候变化对人类健康的威胁并采取行动的2017年倒计时报告。1该报告紧随2015年委员会的审议关于健康与气候变化的研究得出的结论是，气候变化是“对人类健康的潜在灾难性风险”，但同时也是“ 21世纪最大的全球健康机会”。2这份首届年度报告详细介绍了40项基线指标，用以衡量进展，威胁进步，无所作为的后果，以及医疗保健部门减轻气候变化对健康的负面影响的必要步骤。倒计时利用了来自各大洲的数据和专业知识，更新了五类的主要指标，这些指标大致分为研究，适应和复原力，缓解，经济和金融，以及政客和公众的参与。这一广度包括气候科学家，工程师，经济学家和医生的投入，仅举几例，涵盖了……的广阔范围。
