Zoonotic emerging diseases (ZEDs) are increasing and may deeply impact human wellbeing, but our recent survey of public opinion in six European countries (n = 2415 participants) suggests a low concern among Europeans about the risk associated with ZEDs. This contrasts with Europeans' high awareness of climate change risks, which was confirmed by our survey. Given the increasing risk of ZEDs, it is therefore essential to increase Europeans' awareness of their impacts. In addition, our study suggests that Europeans may be more likely to support sustainable environmental policies that would reduce the risk associated with ZEDs, consequently improving the human wellbeing.
人畜共患新发传染病（ZEDs）正在增加，可能会对人类健康福祉产生深远影响，但我们最近对六个欧洲国家的公众意见进行的调查（n=2415 名参与者）表明，欧洲人对与 ZEDs 相关的风险关注度较低。这与欧洲人对气候变化风险的高度认识形成鲜明对比，我们的调查也证实了这一点。鉴于 ZEDs 风险的不断增加，因此必须提高欧洲人对其影响的认识。此外，我们的研究表明，欧洲人可能更愿意支持可持续的环境政策，从而降低与 ZEDs 相关的风险，进而提高人类健康福祉。
