人类已经适应了在世界上各种不同的气候条件下生活,从赤道热带到极地寒带,这两种气候和天气对人类生活和健康均有很大影响。在短时间内发生(如几天)的极端气候(如暴雨、洪水、飓风),能够严重影响到人的健康。与富裕人口相比,贫困人群更容易受到气候多变导致的健康影响。在世界上,每年因自然灾害而死去的约8万人中,有近95％的人生活在贫困国家里。在气候性灾害中,人和动物死亡,家园、庄稼以及资源遭到破坏,公共卫生设施(医院、道路)被毁。以下是最近发生的一些灾害情况:
Humans have adapted themselves to life in all the different climates of the world, from the equatorial tropical to the polar frigid zone, both of which have a great impact on human life and health. Extreme weather (such as heavy rains, floods, hurricanes) that occur in a short period of time (for example, a few days) can seriously affect human health. Poor people are more vulnerable to climate change than their affluent counterparts. In the world, of the approximately 80,000 people who die each year from natural disasters, nearly 95% live in poor countries. In climate-related disasters, human and animal deaths, homes, crops and resources are destroyed, and public health facilities (hospitals, roads) are destroyed. The following are some recent disaster scenarios:
