FESE:“气候变化与公共健康”专刊征稿

  气候变化是人类在21世纪面临的最大公共健康挑战之一。一方面，对暴露热浪、极端降雨、野火、区域海平面上升和气候敏感性传染病的暴露将损害人类的身心健康。另一方面，人类对气候变化风险的减缓和适应也可能通过多种方式改善人群健康。例如，由于减少化石燃料的使用而改善空气质量将减少与肺癌有关的死亡率，提高城市对城市洪水的抵御能力可能防止水媒疾病的传播，城市绿化水平的提升将减少都市热岛效应并改善空气质量。由于不同区域的气候、地理和社会经济状况差异巨大，气候变化的健康影响分布以及相关应对措施有效性也体现了巨大的不平等。因此，系统评估气候变化的健康影响、应对效应的有效性及其在不同时空尺度和人群中的异质性非常重要，已经成为重要的交叉学科研究热点。“气候变化与公共健康：新兴影响与应对”专刊将征集有关气候变化和健康的研究进展。

收稿范围征稿方向涵盖但不限于：1）与热浪和温度上升、极端天气事件（极端降雨、洪水、干旱、野火和旋风）、空气污染和气候敏感型传染病有关的健康影响、暴露和脆弱性。2）气候变化下与粮食安全、饮食结构和营养有关的公共健康影响。3）低碳和净零碳技术、碳减排政策和其他减缓或适应措施的健康协同效益。4）构建适应气候的公共卫生技术、政策和基础设施体系，包括气候变化下的健康城市、韧性城市规划等。5）气候变化相关的健康风险暴露的不平等性和脆弱性人群。客座编辑

Health risks from changing climate is regarded as one the greatest challenges for humankinds in the 21st century. Exposures to heatwaves, extreme rainfalls, wildfires, regional sea level rises, and climate-sensitive infectious diastases will cause harm to human health both physical and mentally. On the other hand, however, mitigation of and adaption to climate change might also benefit human health through multiple pathways. For instance, improved air quality due to reduced fossil fuel usage will reduce mortalities related to lung cancer, increasing cities resilience to urban flooding might prevent the transmission of water-borne diseases, and more urban greenness will reduce urban heat and improve air quality. Great inequalities are also embodied in the health impacts distribution of climate change and the effectiveness of mitigation and adaptation measures, given the varying climatic, geographical and socio-economic status. Therefore, it is important to identify the health damages related to climate change and responses to them, across different locations, time scope and population.

Regarding the complexity and diversity of climate and health issues, the scientific community needs more in-depth research by scholars from different disciplines and regions. To shed light on impacts and responses to public health risks of climate change, Frontiers of Environmental Science and Engineering decided to launch this call for advances in research regarding climate change and public health, including public health impacts of climate change, public health co-benefits of net-zero carbon transitions, adaptations to public health risk from climate change et al. We aim to provide a platform for global decision makers, stakeholders, scientists and engineers to share their outstanding research and exchange their inspiring ideas. Original research papers, reviews, perspectives, and views are all welcomed.

Topics may include but not limited to,

1) Public health impacts, exposure, and vulnerability related to heatwaves and rising temperature, extreme weather events (extreme rainfall, floods, droughts, wildfires and cyclones) air pollution, and climate-sensitive infectious diseases.

2) Public health impacts related to food security, dietary and nutrition under climate change.

3) Public health co-benefits of low-carbon and net-zero-carbon technologies, carbon mitigation policies, and other mitigation or adaptation measures. 

4) Establishing climate-resilient public health technologies, policies and infrastructure, including healthy cities under climate change, climate-resilient urban planning. 

5) Vulnerable populations and inequalities of exposures to health risks related to climate change.
