Extreme weather and population health in Australia: risk assessment, prediction of health impacts and disease burden, and adaptive strategy exploration

这是首次对热浪对澳大利亚主要城市日常死亡率/住院/急诊科就诊/救护车呼叫的影响以及气候变化造成的疾病负担的影响进行系统评估。它将探索相关的针对健康的适应战略。研究结果将有助于相关政府机构的决策，如公共服务和资源配置、基础设施建设、灾害预防和应对，包括建立国家热浪应对系统。它们将帮助相关行业适应气候变化，即老年护理行业。这一结果也将有利于当地社区对气候变化的关注和行为改变。

This is the first systematic assessment of the effect of heatwaves on daily mortality/hospitalisations/emergency department visits/ambulance callouts, and the burden of disease due to climate change in major Australian cities. It will explore relevant health specific adaptation strategies. The results will help relevant government agencies with policy-making, such as public service and resource allocation, infrastructure establishment, disaster prevention and response, including establishing the national heatwaves response system. They will help relevant industry for their adaptation to climate change, i.e. aged care industries. The results will also benefit local communities with their attention and behaviour changes for climate change.
