与气候变化相关的环境和社会变化可能会对地球仪上许多劳动人口的福祉、健康和生产力产生影响。气候变化对劳动人口的影响不仅限于热暴露的增加。对工人健康的其他重大风险（包括极端天气事件、传染病、营养不良和精神压力造成的身体危害）可能会因未来的气候变化而扩大，这些风险可能会对所有规模的经济活动产生重大影响。其中一些风险难以量化，但对一些工作人口的生存能力和可持续性构成重大威胁。发达国家和发展中国家都可能受到这些影响，但发展中国家可能承受的负担最重。本文探讨了一些可能的，非热相关的健康问题，气候变化将对地球仪各地的工作人口，现在和未来。这些包括接触各种传染病（媒介传播的，人畜共患的和人与人之间的），极端天气事件，压力和心理健康问题，以及营养不良。
Environmental and social changes associated with climate change are likely to have impacts on the well-being, health, and productivity of many working populations across the globe. The ramifications of climate change for working populations are not restricted to increases in heat exposure. Other significant risks to worker health (including physical hazards from extreme weather events, infectious diseases, under-nutrition, and mental stresses) may be amplified by future climate change, and these may have substantial impacts at all scales of economic activity. Some of these risks are difficult to quantify, but pose a substantial threat to the viability and sustainability of some working populations. These impacts may occur in both developed and developing countries, although the latter category is likely to bear the heaviest burden. This paper explores some of the likely, non-heat-related health issues that climate change will have on working populations around the globe, now and in the future. These include exposures to various infectious diseases (vector-borne, zoonotic, and person-to-person), extreme weather events, stress and mental health issues, and malnutrition.
