通过增加与温度有关的疾病，暴露于野火烟雾和空气污染物，以及更频繁和更严重的自然灾害，气候变化对残疾人的健康造成了不成比例的影响。虽然气候变化对健康影响的证据越来越多，但在物理学文献中仍然存在重要的研究空白，必须加以解决。还需要在整个医疗教育连续体中增加教育，以使理疗师能够应对影响其患者群体的气候相关健康影响。物理学家及其成员组织应倡导应对气候变化的政策，重点关注患者群体的独特需求，并将残疾人纳入政策制定过程。
Through increased temperature-related illness, exposure to wildfire smoke and air pollutants, and more frequent and intense natural disasters, climate change is disproportionately affecting the health of people with disabilities. Although the evidence behind the health effects of climate change is growing, there remain critical research gaps in the physiatric literature that must be addressed. Increased education throughout the medical-education continuum is also needed to prepare physiatrists to address the climate-related health effects impacting their patient populations. Physiatrists and their member organizations should advocate for policies that address climate change with a focus on the unique needs of their patient population and the inclusion of people with disabilities in the policy making process.
