越来越有必要量化气候变化对人口的影响，并量化减缓和适应战略的有效性。尽管人们对气候变化对健康的影响越来越感兴趣，但心理健康与气候变化之间的关系在研究或政策中很少受到关注。在这里，我们概述了目前对气候变化和心理健康的思考，并讨论了现代流行病学研究这一问题的关键限制。一个系统的方法，辅之以一种新的研究思维和领导风格，可以帮助调整这一新兴领域的需求与现有的研究政策议程。
It is increasingly necessary to quantify the impacts of climate change on populations, and to quantify the effectiveness of mitigation and adaptation strategies. Despite growing interest in the health effects of climate change, the relationship between mental health and climate change has received little attention in research or policy. Here, we outline current thinking about climate change and mental health, and discuss crucial limitations in modern epidemiology for examining this issue. A systems approach, complemented by a new style of research thinking and leadership, can help align the needs of this emerging field with existing and research policy agendas.
