Using systems science to secure the health workforce against climate change

澳大利亚卫生工作人员的普遍分布不均，在有需要的非城市地区造成了严重的卫生人力资源短缺。与气候有关的极端天气事件（即高温、干旱、火灾、洪水）预计将加剧农村地区的劳动力短缺。该项目旨在通过计算系统科学方法的新颖整合，探索气候变化将如何影响农村卫生人力的未来。该项目希望发现新的政策，以纠正分配不均，并加强农村卫生人力对气候变化影响的抵御能力。其好处包括拥有一支持续的、适应性更强的劳动力队伍，从而改善弱势社区的健康状况。

The widespread maldistribution of the Australian health workforce is creating significant health human resource shortages in non-urban areas of need. Climate-related extreme weather events (i.e., heat, droughts, fires, floods) are projected to exacerbate workforce deficiencies in rural regions. This project aims to explore how climate change will impact the future of the rural health workforce through a novel integration of computational systems science methods. The project expects to discover new policies to correct the maldistribution and strengthen the resilience of the rural health workforce against climate change impacts. Benefits include a sustained and more adaptable workforce leading to improved health for vulnerable communities.
