This scoping review examines peer-reviewed literature of governance and public engagement at the intersection of public health and climate change in South America. The review shows significant gaps in academic publications, particularly because health was mostly a secondary theme examined in the studies. The few studies about governmental interventions (e.g., policies and programs) suggest that these have not been effective. Regarding public engagement, no studies examined social media engagement with health and climate change, and only one examined news coverage. Finally, most articles focused primarily on individual countries, with few comparative or regional analyses of South America. Strategic action addressing climate change and its effects on public health needs to be based on empirical evidence.
本综述性研究考察了南美洲公共卫生与气候变化交叉领域中有关治理与公众参与的同行评议文献。该综述表明学术出版物存在显著空白，特别是因为健康在这些研究中大多是次要主题。关于政府干预措施（如政策和项目）的少数研究表明这些措施并不有效。在公众参与方面，没有研究考察社交媒体上关于健康与气候变化的参与情况，仅有一项研究考察了新闻报道。最后，大多数文章主要聚焦于个别国家，对南美洲进行比较或区域分析的很少。应对气候变化及其对公众健康影响的战略行动需要基于实证证据。
