Climate change is an emerging challenge linked to negative outcomes for the environment and human health. Since the 1960s, there has been a growing recognition of the need to address climate change and the impact of greenhouse gas emissions implicated in the warming of our planet. There are also deleterious health outcomes linked to complex climate changes that are emerging in the 21st century. This article addresses the social justice issues associated with climate change and human health and discussion of climate justice.
Discussion paper.
A literature search of electronic databases was conducted for articles, texts, and documents related to climate change, climate justice, and human health.
The literature suggests that those who contribute least to global warming are those who will disproportionately be affected by the negative health outcomes of climate change. The concept of climate justice and the role of the Mary Robinson Foundation-Climate Justice are discussed within a framework of nursing's professional responsibility and the importance of social justice for the world's people. The nursing profession must take a leadership role in engaging in policy and advocacy discussions in addressing the looming problems associated with climate change.
Nursing organizations have adopted resolutions and engaged in leadership roles to address climate change at the local, regional, national, and global level. It is essential that nurses embrace concepts related to social justice and engage in the policy debate regarding the deleterious effects on human health related to global warming and climate change. Nursing's commitment to social justice offers an opportunity to offer significant global leadership in addressing the health implications related to climate change.
Recognizing the negative impacts of climate change on well-being and the underlying socioeconomic reasons for their disproportionate and inequitable distribution can expand and optimize the profession's role in education, practice, research, and policy-making efforts to address climate change.
气候变化是一个新出现的挑战，与环境和人类健康的负面结果相关联。自20世纪60年代以来，人们越来越认识到有必要应对气候变化以及与地球变暖相关的温室气体排放的影响。21世纪出现的复杂气候变化也与有害的健康结果相关。本文探讨了与气候变化和人类健康相关的社会正义问题以及气候正义的讨论。

文献表明，那些对全球变暖贡献最小的人将不成比例地受到气候变化负面健康结果的影响。在护理专业责任框架内以及社会正义对世界人民的重要性的背景下，讨论了气候正义的概念以及玛丽·罗宾逊基金会 - 气候正义的作用。护理专业必须在参与政策和倡导讨论以应对与气候变化相关的迫在眉睫的问题方面发挥领导作用。
护理组织已通过决议并在地方、区域、国家和全球层面发挥领导作用以应对气候变化。护士必须接受与社会正义相关的概念，并参与关于全球变暖和气候变化对人类健康的有害影响的政策辩论。护理对社会正义的承诺为在应对与气候变化相关的健康影响方面发挥重要的全球领导作用提供了机会。
认识到气候变化对福祉的负面影响以及其不成比例和不公平分布的潜在社会经济原因，可以扩大并优化该专业在教育、实践、研究和决策努力中应对气候变化的作用。
