气候变化将影响已存在呼吸系统疾病的个人，但影响的程度尚不清楚。目前的立场声明是代表欧洲呼吸学会制定的，以确定呼吸系统疾病个人、呼吸系统部门的医护人员和政策制定者对气候变化的关注领域。该声明是在2008年3月在比利时鲁汶举行的为期两天的研讨会之后制定的。讨论了气候变化引起的呼吸系统社区关注的关键领域，并提出了解决知识差距的建议。最重要的建议是开发更准确的预测模型，以预测气候变化对呼吸系统健康的影响。呼吸系统医护人员还在说服各国政府和欧盟保持对气候变化的认识和采取适当行动方面发挥了示范作用，这些领域也在立场声明中进行了讨论。
Climate change will affect individuals with pre-existing respiratory disease, but the extent of the effect remains unclear.The present position statement was developed on behalf of the European Respiratory Society in order to identify areas of concern arising from climate change for individuals with respiratory disease, healthcare workers in the respiratory sector and policy makers. The statement was developed following a 2-day workshop held in Leuven (Belgium) in March 2008.Key areas of concern for the respiratory community arising from climate change are discussed and recommendations made to address gaps in knowledge. The most important recommendation was the development of more accurate predictive models for predicting the impact of climate change on respiratory health.Respiratory healthcare workers also have an advocatory role in persuading governments and the European Union to maintain awareness and appropriate actions with respect to climate change, and these areas are also discussed in the position statement.
