Climate change is a key driver of the accelerating environmental change affecting populations around the world. Many of these changes and our response to them can affect respiratory health. This is an expert opinion review of recent peer-reviewed literature, focused on more recent medical journals and climate-health relevant modeling results from non-biomedical journals pertaining to climate interactions with air pollution. Global health impacts in low resource countries and migration precipitated by environmental change are addressed. The major findings are of respiratory health effects related to heat, air pollution, shifts in infectious diseases and allergens, flooding, water, food security and migration. The review concludes with knowledge gaps and research need that will support the evidence-base required to address the challenges ahead.
气候变化是加速影响世界人口的环境变化的关键驱动因素。这些变化中的许多变化以及我们对这些变化的反应都可能影响呼吸健康。这是一篇对最近同行评议文献的专家意见综述，重点关注近期医学期刊和非生物医学期刊中与气候与空气污染相互作用相关的气候健康建模结果。本文还讨论了低资源国家的全球健康影响和环境变化引发的移民问题。主要发现与与热、空气污染、传染病和过敏原转移、洪水、水、粮食安全和移民有关的呼吸健康影响。该综述最后总结了知识空白和研究需求，这些将为应对未来的挑战提供所需的证据基础。
