项目摘要

Climate change poses a severe threat to public health. According to the Sixth Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2022, pg.17):"climate change and related extreme events will significantly increase ill health and premature deaths from the near- to long-term." Recent disasters such as the 2021 Western North America Heatwave and 2022 KwaZulu-Natal Floods show that climate-related hazards such as heatwaves and flooding can damage public health through multiple complex pathways and increase morbidity and mortality. The design of physical infrastructure systems can influence the extent to which climate-related hazards will damage public health on a city scale. However, there is no detailed evidence in existing research of how physical infrastructure systems in cities are managed to mitigate climate-related health risks. The research project will therefore investigate how cities manage physical infrastructure systems to protect public health in a changing climate and explore potential opportunities to improve existing risk management practices.

气候变化对公众健康构成严重威胁。根据政府间气候变化专门委员会第六次评估报告（2022年，第17页）：“气候变化和相关的极端事件将从近期到长期显著增加健康不良和过早死亡。“最近的灾害，如2021年北美西部热浪和2022年夸祖鲁-纳塔尔洪水表明，热浪和洪水等与气候有关的灾害可能通过多种复杂的途径损害公众健康，并增加发病率和死亡率。有形基础设施系统的设计可影响与气候有关的灾害在城市范围内对公众健康造成损害的程度。然而，在现有的研究中，没有详细的证据表明如何管理城市的有形基础设施系统，以减轻与气候有关的健康风险。因此，该研究项目将调查城市如何管理有形基础设施系统，以在不断变化的气候中保护公众健康，并探索改善现有风险管理做法的潜在机会。IPCC，2022：政策制定者摘要：气候变化2022：影响、适应和脆弱性。第二工作组对政府间气候变化专门委员会第六次评估报告的贡献[H.- O.放大图片作者：M.蒂格诺尔波洛赞斯卡角明滕贝克A.阿莱格里亚，M.克雷格，S.，朗斯多夫S。Löschke，V.默勒，A.奥肯，B。拉马（编）]。北京：剑桥大学出版社.出版社。Langsdorf，S.
