Climate change is a significant global health threat that is, underpinned by the existing issue of gender inequality. A scoping review was conducted to better understand the relationship between climate change and women's health. We found a notably higher proportion of existing studies focused on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Most of the studies included were published after 2010, with predominantly qualitative study designs. Four key themes were identified, including women's exposure to climate change risks, the impacts on women's health, factors contributing to the vulnerability, and responding strategies in addressing climate change. The scoping review indicates that women's health is at higher risks due to the vulnerability to climate change, especially in LMICs. Meanwhile, it is beneficial to have insights from women in terms of adaptation and mitigation strategies to build stronger resilience. Mixed methods are strongly recommended to support evidence-based policy making in responding to climate change.

气候变化与女性健康：范围界定审查


气候变化是一个重大的全球健康威胁，其根源是现有的性别不平等问题。进行了范围界定审查，以更好地了解气候变化与妇女健康之间的关系。我们发现现有研究中关注低收入和中等收入国家 (LMIC) 的比例明显较高。纳入的大多数研究均于 2010 年之后发表，主要是定性研究设计。确定了四个关键主题，包括妇女面临的气候变化风险、对妇女健康的影响、造成脆弱性的因素以及应对气候变化的应对策略。范围界定审查表明，由于容易受到气候变化的影响，妇女的健康面临更高的风险，尤其是在中低收入国家。同时，从女性那里获得有关适应和缓解策略的见解，以增强抵御能力是有益的。强烈建议采用混合方法来支持应对气候变化的循证政策制定。
