The NSW (New South Wales) Climate Change Policy Framework, launched by the NSW Government in 2016, recognises that climate change presents risks to health and wellbeing. Risks to health and wellbeing come from direct impacts of extreme weather events, and from indirect impacts through effects on air, water, food and ecosystems. Responding to these challenges offers an opportunity to protect and promote health by enhancing environmental amenities, and building adaptive capacity and resilience in populations and systems. To develop policy that effectively protects and promotes health in the face of climate change in NSW it is necessary to define the expected impacts of climate change on health and wellbeing in NSW.
新南威尔士州政府于2016年推出的新南威尔士州气候变化政策框架认识到，气候变化对健康和福祉构成风险。健康和福祉面临的风险既来自极端天气事件的直接影响，也来自通过对空气、水、食物和生态系统的影响产生的间接影响。应对这些挑战为通过改善环境便利设施以及增强人群和系统的适应能力与恢复力来保护和促进健康提供了契机。为制定能在新南威尔士州应对气候变化时有效保护和促进健康的政策，有必要明确气候变化对新南威尔士州健康和福祉的预期影响。
