Climate change is one of the most serious and pervasive challenges facing us today. Our changing climate has implications not only for the ecosystems upon which we depend, but also for human health. Health communication scholars are well-positioned to aid in the mitigation of and response to climate change and its health effects. To help theorists, researchers, and practitioners engage in these efforts, this primer explains relevant issues and vocabulary associated with climate change and its impacts on health. First, this primer provides an overview of climate change, its causes and consequences, and its impacts on health. Then, the primer describes ways to decrease impacts and identifies roles for health communication scholars in efforts to address climate change and its health effects.
气候变化是我们当今面临的最严峻、最普遍的挑战之一。我们不断变化的气候不仅对我们赖以生存的生态系统有影响，对人类健康也有影响。健康传播学者处于有利位置，能够协助缓解气候变化及其对健康的影响，并做出应对。为帮助理论工作者、研究人员和从业者参与这些工作，本入门指南解释了与气候变化及其对健康的影响相关的问题和词汇。首先，本入门指南概述了气候变化、其成因和后果，以及对健康的影响。然后，该指南描述了减少影响的方法，并确定了健康传播学者在应对气候变化及其对健康的影响的努力中所扮演的角色。
