全球环境与卫生的关联性:科学认知的深化

The linkage of global environment and health: Deepening of the scientific understanding

本文基于历史和环境视角分析了全球环境与卫生之间关联性的科学认知的变化。环境问题对人类健康的影响越来越受到国际社会的关注和重视,现有科学研究已充分证明,环境问题与人类健康风险之间存在明显的因果关系,环境问题是导致人类各种疾病的重大因素之一;从全球层面对环境问题的健康影响进行量化研究是当前相关研究的重点、亮点和难点,目前国际上在研究方法和具体结论上都存在许多分歧,但定量研究方兴未艾;如何将现有的科学认知与全球层面的政策制定与实施有机结合起来是摆在全球环境与卫生治理面前的一大课题。

This paper introduces and analyzes the changes of scientific understanding in the linkage of global envi- ronment and health from historical and environment perspective, emphasizing on the fact that： the environmental issue im- pacts on human health are attracting an increased attention and emphasis from the international community; the existing re- search has fully proved a clear causal relationship between environmental issues which constitute one of the major factors that lead to a variety of human diseases and human health risks ; the environmental issues effects on health quantified at the global level are the highlights and difficulties in the related research, differences in the current research methods and con- clusions exist internationally, but quantitative research is popular; the integration perspective of the existing scientific knowledge and global policy is a huge challenge placed in front of the global environment and health governance.
