Abstract:
With the global climate change process is accelerating, China is facing great challenges. It is urgent to carry out scientific study, aiming at the major needs of health adaptation action to climate change under the 'double carbon' target. This special issue on Climate Change and Health highlights and reports on China's latest scientific findings in this field. The health risks of non-optimal temperature, drought, ultraviolet radiation and other meteorological factors and cold spells in China are clarified, and the research methods of health risk early warning of heat waves are summarized. Future researches need to further elucidate the scientific evidence of the impact of meteorological factors and extreme weather events on population health in China systematically. Focus on innovating and developing technical methods and tools such as health risk early warning models. Accelerate the transformation and application of relevant scientific and technological achievements in China. To provide scientific and technological support for the health adaptation action to climate change under the 'double carbon' goal.
