Futureproofing Health: Developing a Center for Resilient Health in Disasters

摘要：总体 气候与健康全球灾害研究中心（CORD）的目标是开发 在与气候有关的灾害中保护健康和建设复原力的注重行动的战略。气候 变化正在增加灾害的频率和严重程度，全球人口服务不足 南方最有可能因此而发生健康灾难。CORD将解决对数据的关键未满足需求， 准确报告当前与气候相关的健康结果，并支持制定可行的， 制定可行的、文化上适当的预防性行动计划，以预防和/或改善这些健康影响， 与气候有关的灾害。其目标是建立研究基础设施，以便在6个国家开展尖端研究。 在全球南方服务不足的高危社区开展的案例研究。理由是， 来自世界各地的7所大学的全球性，跨学科，虚拟联盟将提供一个独特的， 有价值的数据和观点来源，将为与服务不足有关的政策、实践和科学提供信息 人口。总体目标是：1）在学术界之间建立跨学科的跨国伙伴关系， 政策制定者、社区成员和从业人员; 2）建立数据分析工具和方法， 收集，社区参与的研究，汇编，分析和交流; 3）建立人类 跨学科、跨文化和跨地域有效协作的能力。CORD将有4个操作 丹行政核心将提供战略和组织结构，以建立、管理和 支持CORD。一个研究项目将研究预期行动系统，区分健康影响， 界定社区行动，并确定卫生管理系统在目标社区的作用。 社区参与核心将与社区领导人、人道主义工作者、 实践者和决策者，以实现社会变革。InnovatEd领导者网络核心将建立 通过培养和支持下一代研究人员、从业人员和政策制定者， 气候、健康和灾难的制造者。拟议的工作是创新的，在其多国领导 设计，其对灾害的新型预期行动系统的研究，以及对未来领导者和 社区参与。这项工作具有重要意义，因为它将建立新的跨学科 与社区合作，记录对不同人群的健康影响的方法， 这是成功适应气候变化所必需的背景和治理基础。这些 结果将影响合作伙伴的气候方案的设计，并将为 今后在其他适应干预措施的背景下对这些专题进行的研究。预期的结果是， 已建立的伙伴关系将防止灾害期间的负面卫生结果，并促进卫生公平 in under-served服务regions地区around the world世界.

ABSTRACT: Overall The goal of the Center for Climate and Health glObal Research on Disasters (CORD) is to develop action-oriented strategies to protect health and build resilience in climate-related disasters. Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of disasters, and under-served populations of the Global South are most at risk for resulting health calamities. CORD will address the critical unmet need for data that accurately reports current climate-associated health outcomes and supports the development of feasible, actionable, culturally appropriate Anticipatory Action plans to prevent and/or ameliorate these health impacts in climate-related disasters. The objective is to build research infrastructure to enable cutting-edge research in 6 case studies conducted in under-served at risk communities in the Global South. The rationale is that this global, trans-disciplinary, virtual consortium of 7 universities from around the world will provide a unique and valuable source of data and perspectives that will inform policy, practice, and science relevant to under-served populations. The overall aims are to: 1) build transdisciplinary, transnational partnerships between academia, policy makers, community members, and practitioners; 2) build data analysis tools and methodologies for data collection, community-engaged research, compilation, analysis, and communication; and 3) build human capacity to effectively collaborate across disciplines, cultures, and geographies. CORD will have 4 operating cores. An Administrative Core will provide strategies and organizational structures to establish, manage and support CORD. A Research Project will study Anticipatory Action systems, differentiate health impacts, delineate community actions, and determine the role of health governance systems in the target communities. A Community Engagement Core will establish collaborations with community leaders, humanitarian practitioners, and policymakers in order to effect social change. An InnovatEd Leaders Network Core will build research capacity by developing and supporting the next generation of researchers, practitioners and policy makers in climate, health and disasters. The proposed work is innovative in its multi-national leadership design, its study of novel Anticipatory Action systems for disasters, and its commitment to Future Leaders and community engagement. The proposed work is significant because it will establish novel trans-disciplinary methodologies to work with communities to document health impacts on different populations and the contextual and governance foundation that is necessary for successful adaptation to climate change. These results will influence the design of climate programs by the collaborating partners and will set the stage for future research on these topics in the context of other adaptation interventions. The expected outcome is that the established partnerships will prevent negative health outcomes during disasters and promote health equity in under-served regions around the world.
