Climate change will shortly be assuming centre stage when Copenhagen hosts the United Nations Climate Change Conference in early December 2009. In Copenhagen, delegates will discuss the international response to climate change (i.e. the ongoing increase in the Earth's average surface temperature) and the meeting is widely viewed as the most important of its kind ever held (http://en.cop15.dk/). International agreement will be sought on a treaty to replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. At the time of writing it is not known whether agreement will be reached on the main issues of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and financing the impacts of climate change, and it appears that the impact of climate change on mental health is unlikely to be on the agenda. We discuss here how climate change could have consequences for global mental health and consider the implications for future research and policy.
气候变化将很快成为焦点，哥本哈根将于 2009 年 12 月初主办联合国气候变化大会。在哥本哈根，代表们将讨论应对气候变化的国际对策（即地球平均表面温度持续上升），这次会议被广泛认为是有史以来最重要的一次会议（http://en.cop15.dk/）。将就一项取代 1997 年《京都议定书》的条约寻求国际协议。在撰写本文时，尚不清楚是否能就减少温室气体排放和为气候变化影响供资等主要问题达成协议，而且气候变化对精神健康的影响似乎不太可能列入议程。我们在这里讨论气候变化可能对全球精神健康产生的影响，并考虑对未来研究和政策的影响。
