The Lancet Countdown and the 2018 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change declared that the worst impacts of climate change are and will continue to be felt disproportionately by children. Children are uniquely vulnerable to the consequences of climate change, including heat stress, food scarcity, increases in pollution and vector-borne diseases, lost family income, displacement, and the trauma of living through a climate-related disaster. These stressors can result in long-lasting physical and mental health sequelae. Based upon these concerns associated with climate change, the International Society for Children's Health and the Environment developed a statement about ways in which the Society could take action to reduce its contribution of greenhouse gas emissions. The objective of this article is to report our Society's plans in hopes that we may stimulate other scientific societies to take action. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP6578.
柳叶刀倒计时和 2018 年政府间气候变化专门委员会宣称，气候变化的最坏影响已经并将继续不成比例地影响儿童。儿童特别容易受到气候变化后果的影响，包括热应激、食物短缺、污染和虫媒疾病增加、家庭收入损失、流离失所以及经历与气候相关的灾难所带来的创伤。这些压力源会导致持久的身心健康后遗症。基于与气候变化相关的这些担忧，国际儿童健康与环境学会制定了一份有关学会可以采取哪些行动来减少温室气体排放的声明。本文的目的是报告我们学会的计划，希望可以激励其他科学学会采取行动。https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP6578.
