Exploring the contribution of health informatics is an emerging topic in relation to addressing climate change, but less examined is a body of literature reporting on the potential and effectiveness of women participating in climate action supported by digital health. This perspective explores how empowering women through digital health literacy (DHL) can support them to be active agents in addressing climate change risk and its impacts on health and well-being. We also consider the current definitional boundary of DHL, and how this may be shaped by other competencies (eg, environmental health literacy), to strengthen this critical agenda for developed nations and lower-resource settings.
探索健康信息学在应对气候变化方面的贡献是一个新兴话题，但较少有文献报道女性在数字健康支持下参与气候行动的潜力和效果。本观点探讨了通过数字健康素养（DHL）赋予女性权力如何使她们能够积极应对气候变化风险及其对健康和福祉的影响。我们还考虑了 DHL 的当前定义边界，以及如何通过其他能力（例如，环境健康素养）来塑造这个边界，以加强这一对于发达国家和资源较少国家都至关重要的议程。
