“我们在世卫组织欧洲区域采取行动应对气候变化对健康的影响方面走了多远？”这是在世卫组织气候变化中的健康问题工作组中向世卫组织欧洲区域会员国代表提出的问题。22个会员国对2012年综合调查表作出了答复，该调查表侧重于八个专题领域（治理;脆弱性、影响和适应（健康）评估;适应战略和行动计划;减缓气候变化;加强卫生系统;提高认识和能力建设;绿化卫生服务;分享最佳做法）。在气候变化脆弱性和影响评估以及加强卫生系统和提高认识方面取得了强劲的发展。执行工作将受益于进一步行动的领域是制定国家卫生适应计划、绿化卫生系统、分享最佳做法和减少其他部门的温室气体排放。2010年在意大利帕尔马举行的第五次环境与健康部长级会议上，53个欧洲成员国核可了《欧洲承诺就气候变化与健康采取行动》和《欧洲保护健康免受气候变化影响区域行动框架》。这份调查问卷的结果是迄今为止对欧洲成员国自帕尔马会议协议以来在保护公众健康免受气候变化影响方面所取得进展的最全面评估。
“How far are we in the WHO European Region in implementing action to counter the health impacts of climate change?” This was the question posed to representatives of Member States in the WHO European Region of in the WHO working group on health in climate change (HIC). Twenty-two Member States provided answers to a comprehensive 2012 questionnaire that focused on eight thematic areas (governance; vulnerability, impact and adaptation (health) assessments (VIA); adaptation strategies and action plans; climate change mitigation; strengthening health systems; raising awareness and building capacity; greening health services; and sharing best practices). Strong development has been in climate change vulnerability and impact assessments, as well as strengthening health systems and awareness raising. Areas where implementation would benefit from further action are the development of national health adaptation plans, greening health systems, sharing best practices and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in other sectors. At the Fifth Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health in Parma, Itatly in 2010, the European Commitment to Act on climate change and health and the European Regional Framework for Action to protect health from climate change were endorsed by the fifty-three European Member States. The results of this questionnaire present the most comprehensive assessment so far of progress made by European Member States to protect public health from climate change since the Parma Conference agreements.
