It is widely accepted that climate change is the biggest threat to human health. The pandemic of diabetes is also a major threat to human health, especially in rapidly developing nations. Climate change and diabetes appear to have common global vectors, including increased urbanisation, increased use of transportation, and production and ingestion of ultra-processed foods. People with diabetes appear to be at higher risk of threats to health from climate change, including effects from extreme heat or extreme cold, and natural disasters. Solutions to climate change offer some benefits for the prevention of diabetes and diabetes-related complications. Moving towards lower carbon economies is likely to help reduce reliance on intensive agriculture, reduce physical inactivity, reduce air pollution and enhance quality of life. It may enable a reduction in the prevalence of diabetes and reduced morbidity from the condition.
人们普遍认为，气候变化是对人类健康的最大威胁。糖尿病的流行也是对人类健康的重大威胁，尤其是在快速发展的国家。气候变化和糖尿病似乎有共同的全球传播途径，包括城市化的增加、交通使用的增加、超加工食品的生产和摄入。糖尿病患者似乎面临更大的健康威胁，包括极端高温或极寒、自然灾害等。气候变化的解决方案为预防糖尿病和糖尿病相关并发症提供了一些益处。向低碳经济转型可能有助于减少对集约农业的依赖、减少体力活动不足、减少空气污染和提高生活质量。它可能会减少糖尿病的患病率和减少因糖尿病导致的发病。
